Scott's early 75 seemed like a high number, but as the day unfolded, his one-under overall proved to be pretty good. Thanks to the windy conditions, Scott was able to climb the leader board from the comfort of the clubhouse, though the wind did affect more than Scott's score on Friday -- his tee shot on the 16th hole
struck a fan in the head. It was a serious enough blow to draw blood, and Scott stayed with the woman, Jean Otter, while medics tended to her. Scott, who made a bogey six on the hole, gave Otter a signed glove and promised to send flowers. That alone is worthy of a birdie, but being in position for a British Open redemption is a story we'll be following through the weekend.
