The second round of the British Open was filled with surprises.

 

1. Tom Watson had a hole in one on the sixth using a 4-iron, he said afterward. It was a one hopper, slam dunk. "Wish I could have seen it go in," he said as he walked from the tee to the green. "They're all lucky when they go in. But that's what I was aiming at."

Watson made the cut at even par, unlike some other name players who didn't. Bubba, the "other Watson," will play the weekend, too.

Mickelson said he has developed a lower shot trajectory with the driver and 3-wood.

"When I get a direct cross wind, I get the ball on the ground quicker and I don't have that big miss as much because it's not in the air as long."

He said his improved play to this point was also due to a change in approach to putting. He is working more on feeling the break instead of reading the break. He feels it with his feet.

3. Luke Donald, World's No. 1, will not play the weekend. Neither will Lee Westwood. Padraig Harrington? Gone. As is Graeme McDowell. Ian Poulter now has two extra outfits. Ernie Els, Matt Kuchar, Matteo Manassero and Nick Watney were all sent packing.

"I couldn't really put my finger on anything that was particularly bad today," Graeme McDowell said. "I went out yesterday and I had very little belief in myself....
