The second round of the 153rd Open Championship has concluded at the historic Royal Portrush Golf Course in Northern Ireland. The day was filled with intense competition, leading to significant shifts on the leaderboard as players battled for optimal positions heading into the weekend.

Scottie Scheffler delivered a standout performance on Friday, carding an impressive 7-under par round. This stellar display propelled him to a commanding 10-under par total for the tournament, securing the outright lead heading into the crucial weekend play.

Chasing Scheffler closely is Matt Fitzpatrick, who sits just one stroke back. Further down the leaderboard, Brian Harman and Haotong Li are both two shots behind the leader, poised to make a strong run. As the championship moves into its decisive stages, all eyes will be on Scheffler to see if he can maintain his narrow advantage and fend off the formidable competition.
