Paul Lawrie Did Something Which is Behind Tiger's Ability

Only David J Russell  and Jesper Parnevik  have ever gone through a European Tour event without dropping a stroke. Even Tiger Woods failed to join them on the very last hole of the 2002 American Express world championship at Mount Juliet in Ireland, but Lawrie was halfway there after adding a 69 to his opening 67 in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles today.

The 40-year-old former Open champion, fighting for his Tour career a decade after his Carnoustie triumph, stands eight under par and now leads by two from Northern Ireland rookie Jonathan Caldwell, Dutchman Maarten Lafeber and big-hitting Argentinian Daniel Vancsik.

"I wasn't in trouble a lot, but when I had to I obviously kept the round going, which you have to do when you have no bogeys," said Lawrie after doubling his first day advantage.

"I've been prone to the odd hook in my career and I've certainly got rid of that the last couple of days.

"I missed a few putts, but I'm very pleased with the way I hit it again. Thanks for my great golf putter. Overall you're not going to grumble, but I'm a golfer and you always grumble!"

Clubs in Paul Lawrie's bag: TaylorMade r7 425 driver, rac TP Forged irons, rac black wedges and a TaylorMade Rescue Dual fairway wood.
