The Open Championship Round 2 LIVE: Leaderboard and Latest Updates from Royal Birkdale
Check out the live scores and latest updates from the season's final major at Royal Birkdale in Southport, where overnight leader Jackson Suber is off and running on day two.
The second round of the 154th Open Championship is underway here at Royal Birkdale in sunny Southport, England.
Jackson Suber takes the lead into day two following a stunning five-under 65 start on Thursday.
The 26-year-old American is looking to become just the 11th player in history to win on his Open Championship debut.
In fact, Suber is making his first ever trip to Europe this week.
Suber has already got his second round underway, and he's off to a solid start.
Other players in early contention include Dan Brown, Sungjae Im, Cameron Young, Bryson DeChambeau and Robert MacIntyre.
Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy has work to do to get himself back in contention for a second Claret Jug as the Northern Irishman opened with a two-over 72.
McIlroy tees off at 10.09am local time.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler began brightly with a two-under 68, and the defending champion tees off at 3.04pm.
Check out all the R2 tee times.

Bogey for Suber
Suber -5 (6), Coody -5 (2)
It’s a sloppy three jab from 35 feet for Suber, who makes his first bogey of the round on the par-4 6th.
His compatriot Coody has just birdied the par-4 2nd to join him out in front on 5-under par.
08:56
Coody into second
Coody -4 (1)
It's a brilliant opening birdie from Coody at the par-4 1st and the American is up into a share of second on 4-under par.
08:54
Suber makes par on short 5th
Suber -6 (5)
It's a disappointing par for the leader on the short par-4 5th.
He went left of the green at the driveable hole, and he was short sighted to the pin so had to play into the heart of the green with his approach shot.
No harm done though.
It's a two-putt par and Suber remains at 6-under par and two shots clear.
Suber is not only looking to win on his Open debut, but also for the first ever time on Tour.

Wallace continues fast start
Wallace -4 (9)
Wallace bounces back from a bogey on 8 with a brilliant birdie from six feet at 9.
The Englishman is back up into a share of second on four-under par.
Wallace is seeking a first major title.

Really calm out there
Conditions will likely not get any easier than they are right now for the players.
We've just taken a quick walk around the course and there is barely any wind at all.
It's also not scorching hot yet, it's just a very pleasant morning.
Tournament officials also watered the greens overnight, so those off earliest today will be able to take advantage of slightly softer greens than those who tee off later today.
The breeze is expected to pick up later on too.

Cam Smith fighting back
C. Smith +1 (5)
LIV's Cameron Smith, who won The Open at St Andrews in 2022, got off to a tough three-over start but he's seemingly come to play on Friday.
The Australian is two-under for the first five holes and up to one-over par for the championship, which will likely be safe for the weekend as it stands.

Wallace on the move
Wallace -3 (8)
Matt Wallace had made the first big move of day two, but he's just dropped his first shot of the day on the 8th.
The fiery Englishman is two-under par for thru eight holes and up into a tie for fourth on three-under par.
08:31
Solid start from the leader
Suber -6 (3)
It's a steady start from overnight leader Suber.
Despite some early nerves, Suber has played the first three holes in one-under courtesy of a birdie on the par-4 2nd and he's progressed to six-under par for the tournament.
He finds himself two shots clear of the chasing pack.
Suber is looking to become the 11th player to win on Open debut, and the first to do that since Collin Morikawa at Royal St George's in 2021.
