Bruce Vaughan who shared the first round lead in the 2008 Senior Open Championship presented by MasterCard at the Royal Troon Golf Club is at the top of the leaderboard on his own after Friday’s second round.

American Vaughan had a pretty sedate round parring the first two holes before going bogey birdie on 3 & 4 then ten more pars followed, another bogey birdie on 15 and 16 and finishing with another pair of pars, this level par 71 means that Vaughan has a 36 hole total of 139 and sole procession of the lead on 3 under par.

Fellow American John Cook is one shot behind Vaughan in second place after also carding a level par round.

Three players are tied for third place they Bernhard Langer and Tom Watson who are justifying their positions at the head of the tournament betting, both hit level 71’s today, Eduardo Romero is the third man on one under par after carding a 73.

Round of the day came from another American, Gary Hallberg he was the only man on the course to break par, his 2 under par puts him 3 over and moves him up the leaderboard from 64th to a share of 9th.

Some big names missed the cut too, Gordon Brand Jr, Sam Torrence and Sandy Lyle all ended up on +12, Gary Player shot a 75 today but combined with Thursday’s 81 he is languishing on +14.
