Play resumes at Gleneagles

The second round of the Johnnie Walker Championship has resumed at Gleneagles today following a 30-minute due to fog.

On the resumption, Francesco Molinari birdied the 11th to return to four-under.

Former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance, meanwhile, withdrew with a neck problem. Two days after his 57th birthday he had managed only an 83 yesterday.

A sponsor’s invitation had enabled Torrance to take his record number of European Tour starts to 706, but by slumping to last place and then pulling out it was far from a week to remember.

It may, of course, prove to be his last on the circuit he entered aged 18 way back in 1972.
