Nicklaus Confident After Two Holes Behind Leaders
British Open at Royal Birkdale sees Jack Nicklaus two behind leaders after a 71 first round. Lee Trevino leads with four under, while Greg Norman-like players and veterans such as Peter Thomson and Billy Casper chase. The course’s wet greens draw scrutiny as players adapt to the 7,080 yard layout and a cut to the low 80 after the second round.
