South African Retief Goosen continued his excellent form to equal his own course record of 62 in the first round of the £2.2m Scottish Open.

Sam Torrance and Padraig Harrington, joint fourth overnight in the Benson and Hedges International Open at The Belfry, went their separate ways at the start of the second round today.

Ireland’s Paul McGinley was unable to maintain his flying start and a bogey on the 16th dropped him back to one under par and now three shots off a five-way tie for the lead.
