Patience pays off for American Horschel at muddy Open


Expert help: Billy Horschel (left) in deep discussion with his caddie Micah Fugitt at the 18th tee in the second round on Friday.

PATIENCE was never Billy Horschel’s virtue, but with some maturing and work with a psychologist, he now finds himself among the leaders in the company of Phil Mickelson here — Where patience is crucial.

The 26-year-old American, who missed the cut at the 2006 US Open in his only prior Major start, fired a three-under 67 on Friday to seize the clubhouse lead at the 113th US Open at Merion on one-under 139 for 36 holes.
