Late recovery boosts Cornwall's Hall at Open
Harry Hall qualified for his first Open Championship earlier this month

Cornish golfer Harry Hall says he is pleased with the late recovery in his second round at The Open that left him well placed on two-under-par.
The 27-year-old from Camborne birdied three of the final four holes, having shot bogeys at 13 and 14 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
His score should comfortably be enough to make the cut at his first Open Championship.
"I bogeyed two pretty easy holes there towards the end of the round and then finished three under on my last four, so that was great," Hall told BBC Sport.
"On a course like this they're not easy holes - 16 is a really tricky par three and I managed to hit a mini driver off the deck to about 12 feet and made the putt, and that was pretty cool.
"Hopefully I'm not too many shots back," Hall, who plays on the USPGA Tour, added.
"Two under has a realistic chance of having a good score tomorrow and being in one of the final groups."
