Bryson DeChambeau
Electric Bryson DeChambeau trails leader by one after 36 holes at The Open - Day two as it happened
Check out the live scores and latest updates from the season's final major at Royal Birkdale in Southport.
Bryson DeChambeau is only one stroke adrift of the lead at the halfway stage of the 2026 Open Championship.
The LIV Golf recruit produced a magical finish at Royal Birkdale on Friday, birdieing his final two holes to card a four-under 66 and reach seven-under.
DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open champion, trails Australia's Lucas Herbert by one stroke.
Herbert, 30, earlier lit up the Southort links by becoming only the sixth man in men's major history to card an eight-under 62.
The astonishing feat was matched minutes later by America's Sam Burns.
A group of three players, including 2026 Players Championship winner Cameron Young, are tied for third on six-under.
World number one and defending champion Scottie Scheffler is on four-under alongside Spain's Jon Rahm.
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, Alex Fitzpatrick and home favourite Tommy Fleetwood are also nicely positioned at the halfway stage.
Masters champion Rory McIlroy made the cut but trails Herbert by seven strokes.

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.
Suber

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.
08:41
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.
