What happened:

A fog-hit start meant some of our players were completing their first round on day two. The early day one starters certainly caught the worst of conditions but we weren't badly placed with Fitzpatrick (-3) our best, three shots off the lead. Henley was at level par with Burns, Schauffele and Thomas all a stroke further back tied for 30th.

2023 Champion Wyndham Clark continued to lead the way after round two. His seven under total gave him a four shot lead over four players including our selections Fitzpatrick and Schauffele. Burns and Thomas were also in the top ten at one under while Henley stands at +3.

Gusting winds and firming greens made Saturday's play difficult but Clark stood firm and improved his score to seven under. After the chasing pack struggled he now holds a six shot lead. Schauffele and Burns are at level par, tied for sixth, Fitzpatrick is a shot further back, Thomas has slipped back to four over while an 80 from Henley sees him at +13.

Despite shooting a final round 73 Clark held on by one shot from Burns. Close! Schauffele's plus two total was good enough for a tie of 11th while Thomas (+3) and Fitzpatrick (+4) were just out of the money. Henley finished T65th.

The each way money puts £16.33 in the pot.
