SANDWICH: Collin Morikawa showed no sign of inexperience when surging into the lead on his British Open debut at nine under par after a second round score of 64 on Friday.
The American is making his first appearance at the Open Championship and played for the first time on British soil last week at the Scottish Open where he finished in a tie for 71st.
“I wouldn’t be here through these two rounds if I hadn’t played last week at the Scottish,” said Morikawa.
