Forrest birdied two par-5 holes, the second and the 15th. He bogeyed the first, 13th and 17th.

Ewen Ferguson is T43 on 151 with rounds of 75 and 76. He had a triple bogey 6 at the short third and a double bogey 7 at the long fourth. The five-hole stretch from the fourth to the eighth cost him eight dropped shots in all.
