The second round of the British Open is underway and the Claret Jug is still very much up for grabs.<\/p>\n

There were five golfers tied for the lead<\/a> when play finally ended on Thursday night, including Jacob Skov, Olesen, Haotong Li, Matt Fitzpartick, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Harris English. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler will start Round 2 just a single shot behind thanks to an opening 68<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it’s Brian Harman who has made the early run in Round 2, firing a 6-under 65 to move to -8 and take the clubhouse lead.<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy, playing at home this week and trying to avenge his last outing at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, has kept himself in contention. He finished with a second round 69 to get to 3-under, five back of Harman.<\/p>\n

McIlroy finished No. 18 in a downpour that will surely impact scoring in the afternoon, which includes Scheffler.<\/p>\n

There are several big names who struggled in Round 1, putting themselves in jeopardy of missing the weekend. That included Bryson DeChambeau. He fired a 7-over to drop down to the tail end of the leaderboard. But he was on fire in Round 2, carding a 6-under 65 to get him within the cutline.<\/p>\n
