The 115th Championship from the Ailsa Course, Tumberry
Ten former champions begin their second round: SEVE BALLESTEROS
BOB CHARLES , JOHNNY MILLER JACK NICKLAUS
ARNOLD PALMER , GARY PLAYER BILL ROGERS , LEE TREVINO
TOM WATSON and defending champion SANDY LYLE
By the end of the day, some
May miss the cut to 70 players for the final 36 holes, but those who survive play for a £70,000 winner's cheque and vast rewards in sponsorship and endorsements.
Jack Nicklaus comes to
Turnberry as the US Masters Champion at the age of 46, while another 'senior' player, RAY FLOYD (43), brings his newly-won title of US Open Champion.
Will another title go to a veteran, or will the younger brigade win through in the shape of HAL SUTTON or BOB TWAY from the United States, or Britain's SAM TORRANCE or HOWARD CLARK ?

The 92nd season of Henry Wood Promenade Concerts opens with Mahler's
Symphony No 8 in E flat.
Mahler himself conducted the triumphant premiere of his vast Eighth Symphony in Munich in 1910, little more than eight months before his death. The massive choral work was nicknamed
(without Mahler's approval) 'Symphony of a Thousand', because of the number of performers at the premiere.
It is in two huge movements - the first an invocation or prayer, a setting of the medieval Latin hymn 'Veni, creator spiritus'. The text for the major part of the work is taken from GOETHE'S Faust, in which Faust's soul is released from the claim of Mephistopheles and ascends to Heaven. Mahler said:
'Imagine that the universe bursts into song. We no longer hear human voices but those of planets and suns circling their orbits.'
