Inkster Survives
The birdie Juli Inkster made on the tenth hole to be six under par for the round and level par for the tournament proved to be the seven-time major champion's last of the day. A string of pars followed, broken only by a bogey at the par-4 15th. Still, the 47-year old Californian made it back to the R&A clubhouse with a round of 68, the second best score of the championship so far and a total of 147 that will surely see her safely through to the weekend.
"It is just a different course out there today," she acknowledged. "I'm kind of hoping we get a little wind out there this afternoon. It means a lot to me to play this weekend, that's for sure. You don't want to come over here and have to go home early.
"The course is actually tougher than I thought it would be. Even though you think you can drive it anywhere you really can't depending on the pin placement. In order to make birdies you have to drive it into the right spots and today I did that."
