After posting respectable scores in the first two rounds of the 2012 British Open, Colorado State alumnus Martin Laird suffered through an awful round on Saturday at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He entered the day at 1-under par through 36 holes, but started Saturday with a double bogey on hole No. 2, followed that with a bogeys on Nos. 3 and 4 and continued his descent down the leaderboard with a double bogey on No. 6. He his never got much better, either. He wrapped up the day at 12-over par, moving him to the bottom of the active leaderboard at 11-over for the tournament and creating a double-digit gap between himself and tournament leaders Adam Scott, Brandt Snedeker and Tiger Woods.
