European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 17, 2007, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 42 stars and stripes june 2007 Toms looks to finish what he starts fading on Back two Days in a Row Cost him shot at open Lead l open notebook by Doug Ferguson the associated press if David Toms could Only finish what he he would be Lead ing the Toms was 3 under Par through 12 holes thursday when he bogeyed five of the last six holes to finish at 2 four strokes behind first round Leader Nick he was 2 under for the Day Friday and tied for the tournament Lead at even Par through 13 holes when he double bogeyed he made two More on 16 and and finished 2 Over for the 4 Over for the in Happy with where i Toms the disappointing thing is i put myself in position each and i  maintain that s putting it Over the first two Toms is 9 Over for his last 11 which is Why Hes tied for trailing Sec Ond round Leader Angel Cabrera by four no comparison Stephen Ames 69 at Oak Mont satisfied him More than his 66 at Shin Neacock that led to his ninth place finish in Paul cases 66 was the Only other below Par round when the average score was nearly this is a different monster altogether com pared to Ames Ames was 1 under on the difficult three Hole stretch from 7 to 9 that includes the first Par 3 in open history that is nearly 300 during his open i ground he bogeyed each of those Ames worried that All the High scores Fri Day would encourage the Urga to keep Oak Mon s fast greens dry and almost impossible to master this if it gets dry like Shinn Ecock those last two Days will be because the Elise Canadas Stephen Ames shot one of Only two rounds under Par in the open on Ames shot a 1under 69 and is tied for greens Are twice As severe As those said the 2006 players championship i would Hope the Urga would have Learned something from that my nose Justin Rose had the perfect excuse for his three putt bogey on Rose had a nosebleed on the second and he was still sniffling when he reached the Green on the Par certainly i would say the second Green was a Little bit he i cant necessarily blame the three putt on but it was unusual that it the englishman recovered shooting a 1over 71 that left him 2 Over for the Rose didst know what caused the nose bleed my Caddie didst hit me or any thing but said it might have been his Aller he tends to get Hay and people in Pittsburgh have complained All Spring that this is a particularly bad year for brisk winds stirred things up even More Fri i dont know if something got Rose it was a Little but by the fourth Hole it was All How did he cure it what do you do with nosebleeds he you just throw a bit of tissue up there and off you pain in the Back Steve Strieker was on the practice Range without hitting a he Felt a twinge in his he did a slow knee trying to stretch it which got the attention of Caddie Scott he reached into the bag for a bottle of which Strieker quickly something just grabbed he Strieker made it through his round in 73 and was at 8over but his Back want feel ing any he said he has been feeling a few aches in the Back of his and worried that it was causing problems in his please Tom Pernice played the first two rounds with Charl a 227yearold South african in his second open who is 46 in the world asked for his Pernice said he sounded familiar in other not much id say Hes your typical South Pernice they never just like Retief Goosen or Ernie not the most exciting personal but loads of no typical South african Pernice Hast played too often with Rory a National writer Nancy Armour and sports writer Alan Robinson contributed to his open two four rounds under Par at Oakmont from Back Page for the second Day in a Only two broke with Stephen Ames 1 under 69 the Only other renumber Rose and Ames were among four at 2 Tiger Woods is still in it after a second round 74 left him five shots off the certainly close enough Given How quickly Oak Mont can take Back heres How Tough it was for the first time since winged foot in the year after Millers no one is under Par after 36 holes in the and 35 including Adam Scott and pad Raig failed to break despite a 7over had a Chance to make the Cut until cabreras Sand wedge from 135 Yards stopped about a foot from the Hole on he tapped in for Birdie to Complete his putting 19 players out of the tournament because they were no longer within 10 shots of i didst Knock Mickelson knocked out Cabrera so i dont have to say he shot 11 Over Ames wonders How much worse it can the greens will be watered before saturdays third but it would Likely take a lot of moisture to slow these that rough wont get any thinner or and Mickelson displayed on numerous holes How it can ruin a its the int it Ames the Urga is renowned for its going to get More and More in sure it if they let it get out of it could be very of Casey showed How a Little a hot Putter and an attitude to not give into the course can result in a big starting at got going by rolling in a 45footer for Birdie on a Tricky and he followed with another Birdie on the par3 12 that is playing at nearly 300 by Mickelson didst wait until the final Hole to fall apart this like he did by giving away last years open at winged foot on Hole in a Span of four he went from challenging for the Leader Board to being out of Contention a grim run from 710 of two double bogeys and two to Mike Weir of Canada misses a putt on the 15th Green during the Sec Ond round of the open Golf on Weir finished at 6 that a Tough stretch and it did me in Mickelson refusing to blame the inflamed left wrist that troubled him All he ended a Streak of 30 consecutive majors in which he made the Cut and returned to san Diego on Friday night to have the wrist he want alone in his four others in the world top 10
