Justin Rose isn't quite ready to give up the trophy at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open.
After capturing the title last year at Royal Aberdeen, the Englishman is again in contention at the halfway point in Scotland. Rose has carded back-to-back rounds of 4-under 66 at Gullane Golf Club, giving him a share of the lead upon completing his second round with the afternoon wave still yet to complete play.
Rose has been consistent from tee-to-green through 36 holes, missing only three greens in regulation. After opening his second round with a bogey, Rose reeled off five birdies in a seven-hole stretch from Nos.
