Tringale lost, Cabrera-Bello eighth and Rahm, twentieth

American Cameron Tringale took advantage of the wide advantage where he finished the first round to maintain the lead at the Scottish Open of golf, where Rafa Cabrera-Bello was eighth and Jon Rham, twentieth.

Tringale, number 55 in the world, who on Thursday equaled the record of the Renaissance Club of North Berwick, with 61 shots, nine under par, continues to lead with three impacts, although it is now up to his countrymen to Gary Woodland being chased by Ghim Doug.

The 34-year-old Californian had a bad day. He finished the tour with two hits over par on the field and accumulated 72 hits. Although he birdy four holes, he has six bogeys weighing in on his total.

Tringale amassed 133 hits between the two sessions, three less than Ghim, the great beneficiary of the day, who closed his tour with -1 and with -4. The same record as Woodland, who was unable to take advantage of his position to put pressure on the leader. Gary Woodland trailed behind the course, bogeying four of the last five holes.

Another stroke showed Ghim and Woodland the four golfers. Among them was the tenth player in the world, Englishman Fitzpatrick, who shone a -4 even though American Xander Shcauffele had a better performance, making a -5 and also having 137 hits like American Kurt Kitayama and the British Jordan Smith.

Behind, lurking, was Spaniard Rafa Cabrera Bello, who finished the day with 69 hits after finishing his journey at -2. He was five behind the leader, as did the American Rickie Fowler, the Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, the Danish Rasmus Hojgaard and the Chilean Joaquín Niemann.

World number 3, Spanish Jon Rahm, who in Scotland has already begun his preparations for the British Open next week, is also cautious. He was in 20th place finishing with 72 shots, two over par. At 140, he is seven behind Tringale.

Rahm had a bad start with two bogeys in the first few holes and although he eventually corrected his performance, he declined again later in the course.

Bjorn was disqualified for the wrong card

Thomas Bjorn of Denmark was disqualified for signing the wrong scorecard after the second round of the Genesis Scottish Open in North Berwick, Scotland, on Friday. Bjorn, 51, already signed 5 over par (75) on Thursday and on Friday he worsened his card with 8 over par (78). However, the former European Ryder Cup captain was 7-over-par (77) on Friday. It’s 12 or 13 shots over par and it doesn’t matter because at any step the cut will fail.

Bjorn shared his version of the events on his networks: “I even checked the scores like I always do …. I need (glasses emoji),” Bjorn joked on Twitter. “Anyway, golf was horrible and I need to get back into the grind. It’s not a nice look to get a ‘dq’ and it’s unprofessional.”
