He traded another two birdies against four bogeys for a three-over-par 145 total.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian rued bad breaks as his ball was plugged in the bunker on the fourth hole and he uncharacteristically shanked his shot on 17.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a tough start. This is not a golf course where you can fight and get a lot of shots back, it is more a question of hanging on. When you get off to a bad start, you are trying to hang on because there are not too many birdie opportunities,\u201d said Kapur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I did a pretty good job after the bad start but unfortunately I had that dreaded \u2018S\u2019 word on the 17th hole. I had a wedge in there but shanked my shot. I did well to make bogey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI managed to keep big numbers off my card. I made a bunch of bogeys but at least I kept it down. My ball was plugged on the fourth hole. When I tried to play it to the left, the ball hit the lip, came back down and plugged even further in the bunker. I\u2019m happy I made up-and-down for bogey when it could have been worst,\u201d he reflected.<\/p>\n<p>Despite moving backwards on the leaderboard, Kapur, who is ranked 13th on the Asian Tour Order of Merit, gave himself a pat on the back for making his first cut in his second appearance at The Open since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think one consolation today was that I managed to hang in there and be in the mix somewhere. Hopefully I can recreate some of the magic which I did yesterday,\u201d said Kapur, the 2005 Asian Tour Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have a great field of players here and if you are in the top-70 then you know you got game. Obviously that\u2019s one stumbling block out of the way and I just need to move up the leaderboard as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jimenez takes sole lead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Miguel Angel Jimenez took a slender one shot lead into the third round of a pulsating 142nd Open Championship at Muirfield.
