GLASGOW, Scotland, July 10 (UPI) -- Retief Goosen shot 8-under-par 63 Friday and grabbed a two-stroke lead through 36 holes at the European Tour's Scottish Open.

His second round included a bogey the par-3 fifth hole, an eagle at the par-5 third and six birdies, the last coming at the par-4 18th hole.

"I do like it here," the South African told reporters after coming within one stroke of the course record at Glasgow's historic Loch Lomond Golf Club. "The golf course is fairly generous off the tee and I'm not one of the straightest hitters."

Australia's Adam Scott (67) is second at 9-under 133.

Germany's Martin Kaymer (65), last week's winner at the Open de France, is 8-under 134 with Australia's Marcus Fraser (66), tied for third.

Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, the defending champion, shot 1-over 72 and joined 11 others in 65th place.

Among those missing the 1-over 143 cut were Simon Dyson (143), Martin Campbell (144) and Rory Sabbatini (144).
