Golf: Sorry Seve 17 behind brilliant Goosen

The gulf between Retief Goosen and Seve Ballesteros extended to more than just the 17 strokes which separated them going into today’s second round at the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond.

Goosen is positively flying towards next week’s Open at Royal Lytham, his nine-under-par 62 yesterday coming only four weeks after his play-off triumph at the US Open.
