Steve Marino scored a 68 on day 2 of the British Open, that's 2 under par. Rain and fresh strong gusts of wind did little to deter him from achieving four birdies and an eagle. With a total score of 135, he is ahead of Mark Calcavecchia in second place with 136.

Steve Marino is not well-known and this is his British Open debut. Well, so far, he's been pretty impressive. He hails from Oklahoma, but now resides in Florida. He turned professional in 2002. A great start, and more to follow, I'm sure.
