Justin Rose put himself in prime position for a successful defence of his Scottish Open crown after a second straight round of 66 at Gullane on Friday. No player has ever won back-to-back Scottish Open titles and, were Rose to achieve that feat on Sunday, it would underline his position among the favourites for the British Open at St Andrews in the absence of injured world number one Rory McIlroy.

Of course, the automaker will need to further flesh out its lineup globally, both to satisfy its dealer body and to maximize the return on its investment in
-The appeal of the new tiny-crossover format lies in the intersection of a tall seating position, easy-to-park footprint, and all-wheel drive for year-round traction.
