The second day of the 2015 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open came to a close on Friday, with Daniel Brooks grabbing a three-stroke lead.

Graeme McDowell is just one of a slew of golfers tied for second. Matthew Nixon, Ryan Palmer and two others remain within distance. Below is a recap of the second day's events (via European Tour).

What They're Saying

Daniel Brooks: "I played really solid and I've not missed many shots at all the last three weeks now. Germany, I started playing nicely, just missed the cut there but played some nice golf. France, I had a load of silly mistakes, bogeys. Cutting them out this week and it's worked out nicely so far."

Justin Rose: "You can't quite see where the spectator line is on that hole and when I saw the ball bounce up I was hoping it had maybe hit one of the white stakes. I was pretty concerned walking up there and seeing there was someone on the ground, but he took it like a trooper and was talking to me so that was slightly reassuring. He told me had been coming to tournaments for years and years and had never got hit before."

Johan Carlsson: "For me it was just pretty solid. I continued to putt good, made some saves. I did have a few chances, though, but I made a few good par putts as well."
