He is currently in a tie for 61st - with play suspended - with the projected cut at 2 over par.

After a bogey at 11 he did mount a mini comeback with birdies on 13 and 15, but he sealed is fate by dropping further shots on 16 and 18.
After his round he declined to talk to reporters.

While he was in no mood for any reporters today, he was much more talkative after yesterday's round.
"It felt like a bit of a scramble all day, to be honest," he said.
"I missed a couple of tee shots left and paid the price for that on seven and 17. I was just a little bit untidy in some other areas as well.
"I made enough birdies, I usually always do that, it's just about keeping mistakes off the card. Today I didn't quite do that.
"I salvaged an even-par round. There's still 54 holes of golf left and a lot of things can happen.
"You've got three guys at seven under on the leaderboard, so it's hard to stay patient when you just want to try to get yourself in there.
"I didn't feel like I was too far away today. I'm probably two or three shots behind how I'd like to be, but nothing that's not insurmountable.
"I've got a quick turnaround overnight and I'm looking forward to getting back on the course pretty quickly and obviously trying to get myself back in the thick of things.
"Hopefully we get some decent conditions in the morning and I can shoot something in the mid-60s and get myself back in the tournament."
