David Law will play the weekend at the 150th Open, after two of the “most patient rounds of golf” he’s ever played.
The Scot added a round of 69 (-3) to Thursday’s level-par effort to take him safely into the final two days at St Andrews.
Playing in his first major, the 31-year-old explained how the Old Course suits his game, on a week where pins have been well hidden.
“I think this week suits me because the flags are all tucked away.
“You can’t really make too many mistakes, and I’ve been pretty good at that this year. I’ve managed to keep bogeys off the card for a lot of tournaments.”
For Law, the chance to impress in front of home crowds has been a driving factor in his good play.
“It’s been really fun. I’ve never played a tournament of this magnitude before, so to hear everyone say my name when I get on the tee or walk on a green, it’s pretty surreal.
