Tringale leads 2022 Genesis Scottish Open at the halfway stage

American Cameron Tringale leads at the halfway stage of the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open after clawing his way to a second-round 72, but leading on seven-under-par.

Gary Woodland and Doug Ghim, two of Tringale’s fellow American PGA Tour colleagues sit in second place, three shots adrift of the early leader.

Tringale produced a course-record-equalling 61 at The Renaissance Club on Thursday, but found conditions more challenging on day two.

The American Cameron Tringale, who is searching for his first victory on both the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR in this co-sanctioned tournament, told DP World Tour: "It was definitely more difficult for me today.

"Yesterday, it seemed pretty easy, and today, it seemed like every hole was a grind to make par.

"So anyway, happy to be done and happy to be off the course and get some rest.

"I just want to keep going out and trying to play the best I can and hopefully get a good low one in tomorrow.

"I mean, the course I think is still gettable, honestly, even in the wind, I just need to play the par-fives a little better, and you know, work on those into-the-wind shots and I should be all right."
