AAM Scottish Open: Day 2 in numbers

Hole in one, birdies and bogey-free Benson, we take a statistical look at the second day's play from Gullane Golf Club at the halfway stage of the 2015 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open.

129- Strokes so far for leader Daniel Brooks at the halfway point - just one shot outside the record for lowest 36 holes in the tournament's history

13- Missed cuts from 14 starts for Brooks coming into the week before the Englishman found a pleasing upturn of form in Scotland
