dd to his overnight score and was bowled by Jon HHolland

TROON, Scotland -- Hanging out in the so-called Frat House on Friday morning along with a few of the inhabitants who had yet to tee off, Jordan Spieth could see what was in store on a difficult day at Royal Troon.He and some of his housemates for the week,?Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas and Jimmy Walker -- the others, Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner, were on the course -- almost bemoaned their fate as the second round of the 145th Open unfolded.Phil Mickelson was finishing up his second round at 10 under par, and the worst of the weather off the Firth of Clyde was yet to come. And there was nothing they could do about it.We might have caught the rough end of the draw, said Spieth, who shot 75 and finished at 4 over and on the cut line -- 14 strokes behind Mickelson. That happens. Kind of shook it off to an extent at the end of the round. Just tried to smile, tried to enjoy the fact that you dont play in this often.You wish your score didnt matter when you play in this. You wish this was just a round with your buddies where you go into the clubhouse and have one or seven pints afterward. But we had to post a score today.Spieth joked that the number of pints he had after his round would depend on when he tees off Saturday, recognizing that his chance to win The Open had all but faded away. He lamented not taking advantage of Thursdays benign conditions when he managed just an even-par 71.And for the second straight major, it appears he will play the weekend without much at stake.Ill have to set a lofty, realistic goal, he said. But its certainly worth shooting after and trying to gain some momentum. Im looking to put nice, smooth, solid swings, very confident putts on it to lead into the PGA Championship, because I know my chances are likely finished.Spieth had to grind hard to make the cut, as did nearly all of those who teed off in the afternoon.As it turned out, the weather that was predicted to be lousy all day was less lousy in the morning. Mickelson faced a good bit of rain, but managed to make three birdies before things turned really serious. Henrik Stenson shot the best score of the day, a 65, to finish a stroke back.There were 10 rounds in the 60s, but all were posted by players who teed off in the morning.The wind that wasnt much of a factor early became pronounced in the afternoon, making the finishing holes brutal. To underline the point: the best score of any player who played all of their round in the afternoon was 70, shot by Jason Day and Patton Kizzire -- who ended late and made the cut on the number. Rory McIlroy is the highest on the leaderboard of anyone who teed off late; hes tied for 15th after shooting 71.A day earlier, Mickelson nearly set a major championship scoring record at the same time of day, settling for a 63 after his birdie putt on the last hole lipped out.Then there was Billy Horschel, who started the second round in contention after a first-round 67. He shot 85 without a birdie, including 46 on the back nine. He wasnt alone in his misery. There were 12 scores of 80 or higher.We totally expected to have conditions that were going to be difficult, said Day, ranked No. 1 in the world but 11 shots back of Mickelson. But not to the point where it was blowing 30 to 40 miles an hour with winds and rain coming in sideways. I think I went through four gloves during that little time span, and it was coming down pretty heavy on me. My weather gear is totally soaked now and Ive got to somehow dry it out before tomorrow.It was ridiculous, said Justin Rose about the difficulty in the afternoon after shooting a 77 that included no birdies. When you see such a disparity between the draw and you see no name from this side of the draw popping up, its just frustrating. Great players kind of doing their best to make the cut kind of tells you it was rough out there for sure.Spieth put himself in a hole by playing the first nine in 39 strokes. He managed to add just one birdie on the back and then held on for the 75 that helped him make the cut on the number.What we had on 16 tee, when I looked up and you see the sheets of water moving sideways, legitimately sheets of water moving sideways ... man, if Ive played in that, its been over here on a practice-round day or I cant remember, Spieth said. I cant remember anything that significant. I cant remember seeing the wind move a ball that much.And its a cold, heavy wind. So it plays like its 40 [degrees Fahrenheit] in the States. Its just kind of bizarre.Weather is a part of The Open, and sometimes it is unfairly harsh to a segment of the field.I was kind of hoping for days like this where it is harder, Day said. Unfortunately, the guys in the morning definitely had the advantage over the last two days, which is totally fine. You get lucky in draws like this playing in The Open Championship.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.
