Argentina's Ricardo Gonzalez reflected on the grief of losing his parents and father-in-law as he secured the outright lead at halfway in the 1.4 million pound Johnnie Walker Championship, with a second successive seven-under-par 65.

According to The Scotsman, Gonzalez expressed that it had been a very difficult and emotional time for him personally following the death of his mother Olga, his father Antonio, and now, his father-in-law Juan Carlos.

Having failed to post a single top-ten finish in 16 starts this season, the four-times European Tour winner is by no means a certainty to add to that tally tomorrow night, the report said.

 

The golfer said that if he does win this week, which was obviously his target, he would definitely dedicate the win to his mother and father.
