Scottish Men’s Open - Day 2 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏆 🚨NEW COURSE RECORD🚨 Greg Holmes has rewritten the record books at @gaileslinks - with an astounding nine under par round of 62.😍 The @royalbirkdale member was out in 32 and back in 30 to shatter the previous best score of 63 posted by Jamie McLeary during Open Final Qualifying in July 2014.🙌 Holmes - who now leads by three shots with 36 holes to play tomorrow - put a new putter in the bag this week and it was red-hot during his second round!🔥 An eight- foot birdie putt on the last hole sealed a perfect day for the Englishman who made the most of surprisingly benign conditions to top the leaderboard after 36 holes.📈 Deeside’s Oli Blackadder (73,65) and Calum Nairn from Prestwick St Cuthbert (70, 68) are the top Scots going into the final two rounds six shots shy of our leader.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 LEADERBOARD -10 Holmes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 -7 Larsen 🇩🇰 -5 Sundelson 🇿🇦 -4 Blackadder 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Nairn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, David 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, Coxon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Rudkin🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Scoring: bit.ly/4uDllRU

Golf performance isn’t just about strength - it’s about timing, balance, and coordination. Every swing is decided in milliseconds. Train smart, move better, and build habits that last! #healthyhabits #golfrsa #itstartshere @RandA
