The 2013 British Open Championship moved on to its third day with still lots of holes to be contested on the extremely difficult layout at Muirfield Golf Links.
Miguel Angel Jiminez, who served as the vice captain for the Europeans in last year Ryder Cup, took the clubhouse lead after shooting an even-par 71 in the second round.
Yet, the top spot on the leaderboard is far from being secured. Former world's No.1 Lee Westwood had a solid day on the field Friday as he shot a 3-under 68 to jump into a four-way tie with Henrik Stemson, Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods, who has put himself in prime position despite dealing with elbow problems throughout the first two rounds of competition.
Disappointments and frustrations are all over the playing field with two-time champion Rory McIlroy not making it to the next round after shooting a 79 in the first round and 75 in the second round. Other high-profile players that did not make it to the third day of play are Vijay Singh, Justin Rose, Nick Watney, and Jim Furyk.
Third Round
The third round will be as crucial as the last day of the tournament as competitors attempt to finish the day on a high note and keep themselves in great spot for Sunday's championship play. Of course, all eyes will be on Woods, who hasn't been doing great in round three and four of the last six majors tourney he participated. According to ESPN, Woods usually shot better in the first two rounds with combined score of 11-under. However, his performance faltered in the last two rounds, finishing 30 shots worse over that stretch.
