First-round leader Storm struggles in second round

Graeme Storm was unable to follow up Thursday's stellar performance with another solid round.  Instead, Storm shot a 6-over 76 on Friday, leaving him at 1-over-par overall.  "So, to be honest, I’m disappointed.  I should have really finished closer to where I started the day on," said Storm at a press conference following his round.  Storm added at the press conference that the course was playing at the same level of difficulty on Friday as it was on Thursday.
