Its been unfortunately a long stretch of really ugliness.Mark OMeara was a stroke back along with Carlos Franco, Esteban Toledo, Joe Durant, Tom Byrum, Scott McCarron and Peter Fowler. Franco, from Paraguay, qualified Monday.The wind was 10-15 mph at Carnoustie Golf Links with a mix of sun and clouds and a high in the 60s.I think the rain yesterday softened the course a little bit, OMeara said. We were pretty fortunate. The wind laid down just a little bit in the middle of our round out there, so it was a little bit more playable. But Carnoustie is a very demanding golf course. You have to drive the ball well. You have to be accurate with your iron shots, and then youve got to putt well.Austin won the last of his four PGA Tour titles in the 2013 Sanderson Farms Championship.Im not into grinding, Austin said. Im not into beating a bunch of balls anymore. I did that for my 40 years. Im done. So, I go home, I play with my kids, I play with my family. I own a golf course. I help run the golf course. I try to do the things I need to do there. Youll find me sometimes weeding, jumping on a mower and mowing. I hit balls usually maybe Saturday and Sunday the week before I go back out. Thats it. Thats my preparation. The only time I work on is when I get to the golf course.Bernhard Langer, the winner in 2010 at Carnoustie, had a 71.Defending champion Marco Dawson opened with as 72.
