Live Blogging the Second Round of the 2012 British Open The second round of the British Open got underway Friday under similarly friendly conditions to the placid first round and Brandt Snedeker was the one to go out and take best advantage early. With barely a breeze to ripple the flags, Royal Lytham and St. Annes was again a welcome mat for birdies. Snedeker shot six of them in his first 12 holes to catapult into the lead at 10 under, four ahead of Thursday's leader Adam Scott, who had an afternoon tee time. His round just got underway. The soft greens, inundated by rain for weeks, and lack of wind gave the tournament a very un-British feel. The temperatures were cool cut comfortable. As long as players stayed out of the overgrown rough or gigantic pot bunkers, the course was there for the taking. Most of the players atop the leaderboard had afternoon tee times because the best scoring was done on Thursday morning. Snedeker came into the round at four under and quickly passed them all. Also playing this afternoon are Paul Lawrie and Zach Johnson (each five under), Tiger Woods and Bubba Watson (three under). Follow all the action here through the second round.
