Some observations on the second round today of the British Open. These comments come courtesy of Steve Emmert, one of our beat writers:

-- Miguel Angel Jimenez shoots 73, nine strokes higher than he did yesterday.  He is not some nervous kid whose score skyrocketed due to pressure.

-- J.B. Holmes, who shot 68 yesterday, puts up a 70 today, and moves UP seven places on the scoreboard.

-- Ben Curtis, who carded a 65 yesterday, can't get home today in fewer than 80 strokes, and will likely miss the cut.

So far, the wind hasn't really picked up; if it does, you'll see some ugly rounds.  The Ryder Cup is my favorite tournament, but the Open is always a lot of fun to watch; this one will be no exception.
