Shane Lowry leads the way into the third round of the 152nd Open Championship after shooting a 69 before the really tough conditions on day two.

England’s Daniel Brown was the surprise package on day one, finishing his first day of the major championship one point ahead of Shane Lowry, but the Irishman managed to win two more strokes and finish the day at the top of the standings.

Joining them at the top of the standings is the impressive Justin Rose, who calmly weathered the difficult conditions to post a 68 and keep alive his hopes of finishing five under par before the weekend. Scotty Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay and John Rahm are also chasing him.

But strong winds brought bad luck to some, with Tiger Woods equalling his worst two-round finish in a major, and Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau failing to reach the second round.

A great putt from the bunker gives Thomas a chance to score on the fifth hole, which he easily takes to move to +2.

On the 12th hole, McIntyre was lying in the rough as he hit an approach shot—and he hit it right into the bunker next to the green. He had to work hard to save par, but a big putt gave him a chance to get up and down, and he hit it. He still had three over par.

Matteo Manassero has only been able to complete four holes so far today, but he is three under par for the day, and he came out of nowhere to threaten to advance into the red.

After two consecutive errors, Harman, who is +5 as it stands, came within inches of an eagle putt on the sixth hole, but missed. But he managed to make a birdie putt, moving to +4.

On the 15th, Sharma got a double, so he dropped to +4.

McIntyre managed to get out of the rough after a second shot on the 11th hole, but over-hit it, and it went over the green. He’ll need to get up and down to salvage par here – but he couldn’t, meaning he’ll make it two wins in a row by +5.

Im comes out of the sand at hole 14, and Sharma hits a short putt. The South Korean can’t get the putt into par, and will be level with his partner at +2.

Thomas again scores a par on the third hole, his shot from the tee on the fairway.

Adam Scott moved to the 10th hole, missed another chance to score, so he stayed level. Will he be the first to reach par today?

At 15, Homa had a chance to score +2, but he squandered it.

On the 10th hole, McIntyre was lying on the green as he went for a short putt. It was too short, but he was able to hit the putt for par – but he missed, and the score was +4 in favor of the Scottish Open champion. He will be very disappointed with this putt.

Approaching the starting point on the No. 11 rail, he ran against a fair wind, but landed not far from the tracks, among the crowd.

On the eighth hole, Adam Scott narrowly missed a putt that would have put him into par, but he got off to a good start to the day.

Im and Sharma look to continue their impressive morning form on the 13th hole, with the latter hitting a brilliant birdie to move to +2 and four under par for the day.

Thomas dropped to second place, but there has been no win so far for the American, who remains in fourth place.

On the ninth hole, McIntyre went over the pin and landed on the far edge of the first cut. He was unlikely to get a hit here – his birdie shot landed outside the hole, but he would hit it to make par.

On hole 12, Im hit the ball into the green and it landed nicely, giving him another chance to score a point. But it went out, and the ball remained one point above Im for now! The score was very close.

Thomas hits a wide putt by a few inches to get a one-point lead on the first hole, and will start the day with a one-point lead.

Adam Scott scores a point to make it +1.

Fitzpatrick failed to make par in the ninth and will enter the final ninth round six over par. That’s not going to happen today.

On the 8th hole, McIntyre had another chance to score, but he didn’t hit the hole! He was very unlucky. But his shot on the 9th hole was good, hitting the same level as the sand holes on the fairway.

On the 11th hole, Im and his playing partner Sharma had a chance to score a single again, but neither could make it.

Harman couldn’t make more than one point on the first hole, but he has a chance to make one point on the second hole…

Justin Thomas will start any minute now as he looks to improve on his form after a troubled second day that saw him go from -3 to +4.
