R&A MAKES CHANGES TO BUNKERSHOYLAKE, England (AP) — The R&A has made adjustments to the bunkers at Royal Liverpool for the second round of the British Open to prevent so many balls running up against the face.The tournament organizer said the bunkers have been raked “slightly differently” to ensure there is more of a slope down to the center of them.“We routinely rake bunkers flat at most Open venues,” the R&A said in a statement, “but decided this adjustment was appropriate in light of the dried conditions which arose yesterday.”Some players reportedly complained that the flatness of the bunkers meant balls were rolling too close to the face during the first round.
