The 2009 British Open is under way and Friday's 2nd Round features some great pairings that will start before americans will wake up or eat breakfast. After round one, Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez is the leader after shooting a six under 64. The biggest story of the day was legendary golfer Tom Watson, who led for the most day shooting a five under round of 65. The 59 year old Watson has won the British Open five times in his great career. It will be exciting to see if he can stay near the top of the leaderboard for the remaining three rounds. American golfer Ben Curtis is also one back of the lead at -5. Two of the players at -4 are Steward Cink and Camillo Villegas who also played well in Round 1. Tiger Woods did not have a very good first round and is seven strokes back at +1 after having some shots that are not expected from a pro.

The Japanese golfing phenom faired better than Tiger and sits at -2. Their other playing partner Lee Westwood also finished at -2. The three of them will tee off Friday at 9:20 am for their 2nd Rounds. Fan favorite John Daly also had a good start to his British Open finishing at -2 as well. Daly will tee off at 4:31 am with his playing partners Paul McGinley and Carl Pettersson. Two players with some ground to make up going into the 2nd Round at +1 are Adam Scott and David Duval.
