Birdie for JTpublished at 14:07 British Summer Time
Fleetwood -2, McIlroy -2, Thomas -1 (13)

Justin Thomas gets just his second birdie of the day on the 13th - which doesn't look much but can be anything from a wedge to a three iron depending on the wind.
And having played it, and ended up in one of the bunkers, I can tell you that the traps around it are tough!

Westwood holds par on secondpublished at 14:07 British Summer Time
Detry +1, Gotterup -1, Westwood -2 (2)

Lee Westwood with a solid start to the second round as he banks another par at the second hole. The 52-year-old Englishman gets on to the green in three on the par five before he two putts.
Playing partner Chris Gotterup, of the USA, moves to one under after making an eagle putt.
Eagle for Finau!published at 14:05 British Summer Time
Finau -4 (12)

Tony Finau is into the mix now!
The American sinks his eagle putt from 25 feet on the par-five 12th and he's at four under, three off the lead.

His issues with the weather are probably to do with his clothing choice.
Renowned for having one of the most colourful wardrobes on tour.

Shudder to even think what Jason Day thinks of today's weather forecast.
Hours after we were expecting rain, it's still a gorgeous day at Royal Portrush.
'Excited to see USA boys doing well'published at 14:03 British Summer Time
Bradley -3 (67)

US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Andy Stevenson:
On having the round of the day so far and finishing bogey-free: "It’s the best round at The Open I’ve played in a very long time so I’m proud of that. The weather is great. There is a little bit of wind but nothing major but no rain and it’s a joy to play out there today."
How happy is he with US performances, wearing his Ryder Cup hat? "When I look at the leaderboard, that’s my first thought - where are the boys at? And when I see them up there I’m really excited. Brian’s playing good, Harris is playing good so that’s a good thing."
On whether he will be playing at the Ryder Cup: "I’m focused on being the captain. I never really thought of playing, to be honest with you. I want to do what’s best for the team, whether playing or not. A good weekend here could change that as well."

Harman -7 (16)

Another good par save from the front edge of the green by Brian Harman at the 16th.
Two holes to go for the American, who is five under for his round today.
Three birdies in a row for Brysonpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time
DeChambeau +2, MacIntyre -5, Rose -1 (14)

Ooof, magnificent from Bryson DeChambeau.
A monster drive of more than 350 yards down the 14th, followed by an approach from 120 yards that comes to rest two feet from the pin.
Every chance he'll be around for the weekend at this rate.
Bob MacIntyre and Justin Rose wrap up safe pars from close range.
Hojgaard finishes in stylepublished at 13:55 British Summer Time
Bezuidenhout -2, R. Hojgaard -5, Langasque E (18)

Image source, Getty Images
Rasmus Hojgaard gets on to the green at the 18th in two shots to give himself a chance of finishing off his round with a birdie.
The Dane, beaming from ear to ear, takes off his cap and salutes the crowd after sinking a 32ft putt to end his day in style. Hojgaard shoots 68 and finishes the day at five under.
Frenchman Romain Langasque undoes some of his good work, though, as he ends with double bogey to go back to evens after a round of 71. Christiaan Bezuidenhout of South Africa makes par on the last to card 73 and finishes two under.
Close call!published at 13:54 British Summer Time
Fleetwood -2, McIlroy -2, Thomas E (12)

Groans in the stands around the 12th green as Rory McIlroy hits a brilliant putt from just over 30 feet that tracks all the way and seems destined to drop for eagle.
But it just misses! The fans were desperate to see the big bird land there, but a birdie four will do now, and can that spark a big run for the local hero down the stretch?

Re 13:46, that's the only reason said live texter isn't making one of Luke Donald's captain picks for Bethpage Black.
Par start for Jordanpublished at 13:53 British Summer Time
Jordan -3 (1)

Englishman Matthew Jordan would’ve gone to bed content last night after a three-under opening round at Portrush - and he'll feel equally happy with an opening par here to kick off his second round.
Better from Brysonpublished at 13:52 British Summer Time
DeChambeau +3, MacIntyre -5, Rose -1 (13)
Faith Harper
BBC Sport NI at Royal Portrush

There is plenty of support out there today for Bryson DeChambeau and they've seen much better golf then yesterday's spectators. As I said earlier, it couldn't really have got any worse!
At the minute, the projected cut is +2 or better and after back-to-back birdies it's looking like the two-time US Open champion might just be sticking around for the weekend!
Birdie finish for clubhouse leaderpublished at 13:49 British Summer Time
Bezuidenhout -2, R. Hojgaard -5 (F)

A tip of the cap from Rasmus Hojgaard as he just about manages to knock in a 30-footer on the final green to seal a fine round of 68 and set the pace in the clubhouse on five under par.
He's currently T4 on the leaderboard but that will do just nicely for the Dane, who knows how to get the job done in these conditions as he won the Irish Open at the stunning Royal County Down last year.
So watch out for him over the weekend.
Postpublished at 13:46 British Summer Time

One of today's live texters is also getting married this summer and didn't realise that their honeymoon is booked for the same weekend as the Ryder Cup...
A terrible error.
The big day awaitspublished at 13:44 British Summer Time
Andy Gray
BBC Sport NI at Royal Portrush

Meet Linsey and Mark, who have included The Open in their wedding preparations.
It's their big day next Friday but everything is under control and they're able to enjoy their day at the golf.
They're so ready, Linsey even has a personalised Open hat prepared with her initials to be.
Many congratulations and best of luck for your big day!
English moves into secondpublished at 13:42 British Summer Time
English -6 (11)

The 11th hole has been the hardest so far in this tournament but not for America's Harris English.
That's a magnificent wedge from the middle of the fairway that rolls round and comes up just four feet from the cup.
Right in the heart of the hole.
He closes the gap on Brian Harman.
Harman stays in frontpublished at 13:42 British Summer Time
Harman -7 (15)

Brian Harman putts up the hill from the front of the green and judges it perfectly.
Stone dead for par.
Bogey for Hattonpublished at 13:42 British Summer Time
Hatton -5 (14)

More muttering and chuntering from Tyrrell Hatton as he stalks off the 14th green with a bogey.
He was a little aggressive with his third up the hill from short of the green and that left him too much to do with the par putt. It's only his second dropped shot of the day though.
Hatton back two off the lead.
'DeChambeau giving himself a run to make this cut'published at 13:41 British Summer Time
DeChambeau +3 (13)
Catriona Matthew
Captain of Team Europe at the 2019 & 2021 Solheim Cup on BBC Radio 5 Live

Bryson DeChambeau is giving himself a real run to make this cut. He’s going to be determined, he’s going to want to make it.
He’s never done well in this championship yet so he’s going to want to do two more rounds and you just never know.
