TROON, Scotland -- A look at the second round Friday in the British Open at Royal Troon Golf Club (all times EDT):LEADING: Phil Mickelson made his first two bogeys of the tournament but still shot a 2-under 69. He reached the midway point at 10-under 132.TRAILING: Henrik Stenson was one shot back after posting a 65, the best round of the day.LUCK OF THE DRAW: The morning starters caught a break with the weather, which turned especially nasty in the afternoon. The top 14 players on the leaderboard all came from the morning wave. Of the 20 players who broke par, only four started after lunchtime.MISSING THE CUT: Former Open champions Ernie Els and Louis Oosthuizen were among those missing the cut. Els could have made it to the weekend with a par at the final hole, but the Big Easy took bogey after driving it into a fairway bunker. Oosthuizen, who lost in a three-way playoff last year at St. Andrews and was No. 14 in the world, shot 83. He was the highest-ranked player to be sent home.GETTING THROUGH: Mickelson and Rickie Fowler both made the cut in a major for the first time this year.SHOT OF THE DAY: Mickelson nearly holed out his tee shot at the 123-yard eighth hole, known as the Postage Stamp. The ball rolled right up next to the cup, leaving Lefty with a tap-in birdie that was roughly the length of a postage stamp.KEY STATISTIC: Of the eight players who have shot 63 in the opening round of a major championship, Mickelson was only the third to break par in the second round.NOTEWORTHY: Billy Horschel followed up a 67 on Thursday with an 85, the highest score of the second round. The 18-shot differential was the biggest meltdown in Open history over the first two rounds.QUOTEWORTHY: Youve got to understand that some people get lucky, some people get unlucky. Youve got to take what you get and roll with it and try to do the best job you can. -- Jason Day, on the much tougher conditions that faced those teeing off in the afternoon.SATURDAY FORECAST: Mostly dry with wind gusts up to 20 mph.TELEVISION: Golf Channel (4-7 a.m.); NBC (7 a.m.-2:30 p.m.).FEATURED GROUPS: 10:20 a.m. -- Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson; 10:10 a.m. -- Keegan Bradley, Soren Kjeldsen; 9:10 a.m. -- Dustin Johnson, Francesco Molinari.

It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.padressale.com/padres-franchy-cordero-jersey/ .

Call them the NRLs cardiac kids but Penriths playmaking young guns are fast mastering the art of putting opposing sides to the sword at the death.The Panthers believe their new reputation as the competitions heart-stoppers will actually help them when they enter this years finals series as arguably the most inexperienced team.They gave coach Anthony Griffin a cruel re-introduction to the league when he took over from Ivan Cleary this season after more than a year off - all nine of their opening games were decided by less than 10 points.It wasnt until a 12-point win over the Warriors in round 10 that Griffin was able to breathe easy before the full time siren.But that didnt mean the mountain men suddenly stopped sending games down to the wire.A league-high 16 of their contests this season have been decided by 10 points or less, 13 of them by a converted try or less.Only nine of those 16 games were converted into wins but its a nerve-racking record second-rower Isaah Yeo believes could deliver them a deep push into the finals despite their lack of experience.This weeks line-up against Manly contains just 23 games of finals experience, 13 of them owned by veterans Peter Wallace and Trent Merrin.Those tight games wwere a real learning curve for us.dddddddddddd Obviously we didnt get all of them and that could come down to inconsistency and inexperience, Yeo told AAP on Thursday.But over the last couple of months, weve been really good on the field and I think thats showing with our defence at the moment.Winners of six of their past seven, the Panthers have only once conceded more than three tries - during a golden point loss to the Warriors - and given up a total 98 points in that period.Melbourne, the leagues best defensive team, have conceded 114 points over the same stretch.Everyone thinks were an attacking side but were able to keep some really good sides to low-scoring numbers and come out over the top of teams with 15 to 20 minutes to go, Yeo said.We obviously know the finals are a different beast and were not there yet. But well ride the wave and listen to the people that have been there before.NRLS CARDIAC KIDS: Games decided by six points or lessPenrith (13)Cronulla, North Queensland, Gold Coast, St George Illawarra (9)Canterbury (8)Canberra, Warriors, Sydney Roosters, Parramatta (7) ' ' '
