Adam Scott and Marc Leishman believe home-ground advantage worked against them at the World Cup of Golf as the pre-tournament favourites lamented a frustrating Friday at Kingston Heath.The host nation combined six birdies with two bogeys en route to a four-under 68 in the second-round best-ball.Scott - a member of Kingston Heath - and regular visitor Leishman were left irritated by a series of missed putts as the Australians fell 10 shots behind runaway leaders Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen from Denmark.Sometimes its hard to get (local knowledge) out of your mind; youre trying to play the right shot you think and its not because of the conditions, said a clearly-disappointed Scott.Maybe that works against us, but our best stuff needs to be on the weekend now.Leishman attributed the lacklustre round to misjudged approach shots.Its a little frustrating; youre so used to landing it short on certain holes and bouncing it and up. All of a sudden its spinning backwards, said Leishman.But were professional golfers and we need to adjust.Scott and Leishman - world No.7 and No. 54 respectively - started sluggishly with only one birdie in the first four holes. But the pair rallied near the turn with two desperate birdies - from the rough on the par-5 eighth and a 25-metre putt Scott holed from off the ninth green.Eight and nine they were both ferrets, Scott joked.With Saturdays round returning to alternate shot, 2013 World Cup champion Scott insists Kjeldsen and Olesen havent yet run away with the tournament.Its a tough format; it doesnt mean the leaders are going to play any gd on the weekend, said Scott.Hopefully we can close the gap and I think weve got a chance on Sunday.Cheap Nike Air Max 720 .
