Chris Gotterup plays a brilliant second shot on 12 as he knocks his ball pin high and about 15 feet left of the flag as he looks to continue to tear up these par fives at Portrush.

He leads the field in par-five scoring with a remarkable 12 under par on these longer holes for the week.

No embedded ball popped up this time down the right on 11 for Rory McIlroy.

But the wind's well and truly out of his sails now.

The contrast in excitement out here compared to yesterday is striking.

The Scheffler effect.

More from Tommy Fleetwood:

On Scottie Scheffler: "He’s playing amazing stuff isn’t he? I think for all of us, it’s great we have a player of Scottie’s calibre to chase and look up to, to try to figure out.

"He’s a phenomenal golfer and nobody can take that away from him and we can keep striving to try to chase him.

"He’s on his way to us all looking back and saying Scottie Scheffler was playing in our generation and will be one of the all-time greats."

Fancy Ryder Cup singles against him in New York? "If I’m there, I’ll be happy to be playing. Again, moments like that you have to cherish and look forward to the opportunities."

It's all gone very flat for Rory.

The double bogey has killed his momentum, if he had any at all.

He's going to have to try and make another miraculous eagle at 12.

This pair go to the 12th, which is the par five and playing as the easiest hole on the course today at over half a stroke under par and 43 birdies today.

Both of these will be thinking a four at worst.

We told you earlier about moves being made by Wyndham Clark, and the birdies have only continued for the American.

The 31-year-old has just tapped in from close range to go deeper into the red.

That's five under for the day, 10 under for the tournament and a share of second.

Tyrrell Hatton has to take a penalty drop from the bushes on the 12th but makes a par five.

Defending champion Xander Schauffele is in for a birdie four that takes him into the group at 10 under.

Matt Fitzpatrick not happy with a bad break on 11, but he manages to walk off with a pa which on this hole is not a bad score at all.

Rory McIlroy finds the bunker with his second but plays a nice escape to also save his par, but there's not quite the bounce in his step right now.

Tommy Fleetwood finished seven under, and was speaking to Andy Stevenson:

On his week at The Open? "In the first round I was very disappointed with how I played but I was pleased with how I had to fight and I felt like I’d got away from the course with a score that wasn’t disastrous.

"The rest of the week - left feeling very unsatisfied. I feel like I got off to great starts and played well enough to build better rounds and couldn’t quite keep it going.

"I played a lot of good stuff. I’ll look back on it with feelings that I could have got more out of the tournament but at the same time I think I did a lot of good things."

Li Haotong doesn't allow for enough break on his par putt and he'll lose the shot he gained with his birdie at the ninth.

Scottie Scheffler's birdie putt veers right at the last so he'll have to settle for par, but bogeys for Li and Chris Gotterup mean he's six in front again.

Chris Gotterup got a Rory McIlroy-esque flier on the 11th as he flew the green, and just could not manage to rescue the situation as he falls back to 10 under and a shot further away from the leader.

The challengers thyat almost threatened at one point are falling away now as Scottie Scheffler strolls away from the field.

Rory McIlroy finds the rough off the 11th tee - on what is the second hardest hole on the course today so that's not an ideal start for someone who needs a near miracle now.

Li Haotong gives himself some hope of saving par after finding trouble off the 10th tee. He'll have about 15 feet left for a four.

Scottie Scheffler will have a 10-footer for birdie after another fine approach to the green.

Not sure how many more times we'll see Lee Westwood at The Open and the 52-year-old gets a warm reception at 18.

At times this week, he's rolled back the clock, particularly off the tee. Unfortunately today has been his worst round, a two-over 73, but he'll still finish at three under for the tournament.

And he's certainly still smiling.

Oh dear, that could be that for Rory McIlroy as seemingly from nowhere he makes a double bogey six on the 10th hole and drops back to eight under and eight shots behind Scottie Scheffler.

It was a couple of bad breaks in a row, with that huge flier out of the rough catching him by surprise and then that mystery bad contact with his first chip shot showing that bad things can happen in a hurry around Portrush.

We'll also have video highlights of some of the key moments as the day progresses.

The chasing pack needed Scottie Scheffler to falter early on.

He didn't.

Rory McIlroy finds a clear spot behind the 10th green, but just flubs his chip shot that goes hardly anywhere - and he has a stern glare at the ground beneath him as he's not happy with something about the lie here.

He chips onto the green at the second attempt but now has a long putt just to make bogey.
