Bob Cameron tried to put a smile back on the face of English sport at Royal Porthcawl when he led the way after the second round of The Ryder Cup Wales Seniors Open on the European Senior Tour. After the Three Lions’ dismal showing in the World Cup against Algeria, the flag of St George hung limp but Cameron put some starch back in the fabric with a fine 66 on the classic Welsh links for a nine under par total of 135 and a one shot lead over the Scottish duo of Gordon Brand Jnr and Ross Drummond. “If our football team had performed last night how I putted today then I think we would have won about 10-0,” said the 57 year old whose two Senior Tour titles to date – the Open de France Seniors and the Sanremo Masters – both came in the 2004 season. “I think most people watch England play, certainly at the World Cup, and it was just disappointing that we didn’t put at least one in like I did on the greens. I putted extremely well and I think I only had 26 putts altogether. So any time you are that low in putting stats, you are going to score well.” The round also went some way to making up for the painful memories Cameron has of this event last year where he led after a fine opening 69 only to slump to a horrendous 80 in the second round before eventually finishing tied 19th. http://www.europeantour.com/seniort...124138.html#cameron makes england smile again
