South African golfer Justin Walters ground out a gutsy 71 to open up a one-shot lead after day two of the 2020 UK Championship. Walters had carded a brilliant 64 on day one before heavy rain arrived resulting in a lengthy delay, and he maintained his three shot lead when the first round was completed on Friday morning. "In the end I'm happy with the day because it could have really got away from me out there," said Walters after his round. That's got me through some tough moments already this week in terms of the situations I've found myself in. Frenchman Benjamin Hebert was his closest challenger after a 69, one shot clear of England's Paul Waring, who carded a 67.
