What a difference a day made for veteran Scottish golfer Sandy Lyle at the Masters on Friday. One moment he was top of the world luxuriating in an opening round of 69 at the Masters that saw him hit dizzy heights up the leaderboard. The next, he had his head in his hands as the wheels came off with a second round of 86. The 1988 champion, whose 18th-hole fairway bunker shot in the final round that year has gone down as one the greatest in Masters history, wasted no time Friday in juming off the pedestal he had put himself on. At this level it's hard to do produce a worse start than three double bogeys and three bogeys to stand at eight over for the round after just six holes. Two more bogeys at the seventh and ninth saw Lyle, 52, reach the turn in a disastrous 10-over 46. To give him credit, he stuck to his task, unlike at Royal Birkdale in the first round of the 2008 British Open when he stormed off the rain-drenched course after reaching the turn in 11-over. That tantrum may have cost Lyle the captaincy of the European Ryder Cup team for this year, which eventually went to fellow Scot Colin Montgomerie, and he eventually apologized for his premature departure. This time, Lyle stood his ground and he was rewarded with two straight pars at the 10th and 11th -- ironically the two toughest holes on the course. But there was to be no dramatic reversal in his fortunes as he made a triple- bogey six at the famous par-three 12th. Lyle finally limped in with a 14-over 86 and at 155 at the halfway stage, he was heading home to think again. If it was any consolation to Lyle, he still finished nine strokes better off than Kiwi Michael Campbell, whose career has gone into an embarrassing tailspin since he won the 2005 US Open at Pinehurst. Campbell, the mere mention of whose name ellicits a shudder from many players, carded 83 and 81 and at 164 was 20-over par and set for his 10th missed cut in 10 campaigns at Augusta National. It was also his sixth missed cut in six tournaments played this year.
