Steve Tiley

[HomerJSimpson]

A bit if an unknown English player was well up on the leaderboard. I found this from Fergus on the GM site. Always happens in most majors that a few lesser lights have a great round. However in case h hangs around:

So now you know

Must be a decent player he qualified from my course Scotscraig.

I'm sure Steven Bottomley finished in the top 5 one year at St Andrews...never to be heard of again

The early leaderboard is looking exciting what with young Rory blitzing his way round to stand alone at the top and "Long" John Daly playing in the carefree, cavalier style he's famous for to be tied second. Steve Tiley - a slightly less well-known Englishman is currently in that tie for second with Daly and I decided I should find out a little more about him. Here are five things I never knew about Steve Tiley:

- He's played in the Open before. He teed it up as an amateur at Royal Troon in 2004 where he missed the cut by two strokes.

- He qualified through local final qualifying at Scotscraig with rounds of 69 and 68. He came through a playoff against Gary Clark and Lloyd Saltman.

- His best finish this season is a tie for 17th at the Saint Omer Open.

- He's attached to Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club in his home county of Kent.

- His favourite TV programme is Only Fools and Horses.



Too bad, he sounded good until the bit about Only Fools and Horses.
