NORTH BERWICK, Scotland – The calmest winds that Matt Fitzpatrick has faced at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open came towards the end of his second round. It was as if the weather wanted to rub it in, only confirming what Fitzpatrick already knew. RELATED: Tee times dictate scoring in opening round | Smith, caddie win cars after ace in Scotland “It’s safe to say we got the worse half of the draw,” he said after shooting a 66 that was Friday morning’s second-best score. The luck of the draw is an inherent part of links courses, where a seven-day forecast inspires about as much confidence as an American driving on the left side for the first time. Thursday’s afternoon wave averaged about three strokes higher than the other half of the field. Those same players seemed to face the toughest conditions Friday even though it was their turn to tee off early. The lowest 36-hole score from the late-early starters was 3-under 137. Four players shot that score, including two of the TOUR’s most recent winners, but they were six shots behind leader Cameron Tringale, who had yet to start his second round, when they signed their cards. U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick, Travelers winner Xander Schauffele, rookie Kurt Kitayama and DP World Tour member Jordan L. Smith were all tied as the top players from the tougher conditions. Schauffele started his day by making eagle on the par-5 10th. His second shot was an 8-iron from 225 yards that he hit to 15 feet. His 65 was the low round from Friday’s early starters. “It wasn’t that (the wind) was constant. It was that it was kind of coming in and out and pretty strong breezes,” said Schauffele, who’s ranked eighth in the FedExCup after his recent win at the Travelers Championship. “I enjoy the challenge.” Fitzpatrick shot 66 on Friday after bogeying his last two holes. Kitayama, a TOUR rookie who’s won twice on the DP World Tour, shot a 66 on Thursday that was the low round from the afternoon. Smith made a hole-in-one on the par-3 17th as part of his second-round 69, winning cars for both himself and his caddie, a childhood friend. He is one of just two players from this half of the draw to shoot under par in each of the first two rounds. Rickie Fowler, who shot 69-69, is the other. Plenty of the game’s biggest names did not fare as well. Despite those two closing bogeys, Fitzpatrick finished eight shots ahead of playing partners Collin Morikawa and Will Zalatoris, who both shot 71-74. Hideki Matsuyama was 7 over par for 36 holes, while PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas finished 10 over, matching the second-worst 36-hole score of his career in relation to par. It was just the second missed cut in 17 starts this season for Thomas. This is Fitzpatrick’s first start since he won the U.S. Open. He welcomed getting back to work after the whirlwind weeks that followed his win in Brookline. “It’s just been busy with all sorts of stuff so I’m toward get back into regular scheduling,” said Fitzpatrick, who’s 11th in the FedExCup. That includes late tee times on weekends, even when he faces the worst of the weather.
