Shane Lowry went into truly brutal conditions on day two after shooting a third-round 69 of 152 at the Open.
Englishman Daniel Brown was the surprise package on day one, finishing his first day in a joint lead with Shane Lowry in a major, but the Irishman gained two more strokes to end Pile’s first day.
Those two are tied at the top of the leaderboard as he calmly navigated the challenging conditions to shoot a 68 and keep himself a five-over for the weekend. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay and Jon Rahm are in the chasing pack.
The powerful wind brought bad luck to some, as Tiger Woods tied his worst two-round score in a major, and Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau both failed to make the cut.

On the 10th, MacIntyre lays on the green as he picks up the putter. He’s too short, but should be able to guide the par shot – however he misses, and it’s a +4 for the Scottish Open champion. He will be very disappointed in that.
He approaches Dee on Railway 11, working against a light headwind, but he doesn’t land far from the tracks in the crowd.
At the eighth, Adam Scott missed a birdie attempt that would have put him at par, but he started the day well.
Im and Sharma looked to continue on the morning of the 13th and sank a lovely birdie to go +2 and four over for the day.
At two again, Thomas skims a birdie putt. The American is not happy yet as he is four over.

McIntyre’s approach pin on the ninth and landing on the first cutting edge. It’s highly unlikely he’ll get a shot here – and his birdie putt lands wide, but he’ll knock in for par.
On the 12th, I chipped the green, giving me another birdie opportunity. Even if it’s the lips, he’s on an over for now! Very close.
Thomas goes inches wide of the first with a putt for birdie, and he’ll start the day at even par.

Fitzpatrick bogeyed the ninth and would go six over on the back nine. Not happening to him today.
At the eighth, MacIntyre has another birdie chance, but it skims the hole! So bad luck. His tee shot on the ninth is good, coming up with reasonable bunkers.
On the 11th, both myself and playing partner Sharma again have a birdie chance, but neither can sink it.
Harman can only make par on the first hole, but has a birdie chance at the second.
Justin Thomas will be on the field any time now, as he will improve on day two where he was taken from -3 to +4.

Another early bird, this one for Adam Scott and he moves to +2.
Defending champion Harman opens the day with a shot that goes plum down the middle of the fairway.
The railway goes up to the 11th, leaving Homem, avoiding the rails and guiding it in the middle.

Fitzpatrick’s birdie chance goes awry after being misjudged from left to right, but he’ll finish eighth.

Conditions this morning are more favorable than they have been the past two days, with wind speeds much lower than they have been. The move could throw a spanner in the works.
Sungjae Im Now makes his third birdie, so he moves to +3. Not much to report in terms of improvements Fitzpatrick And Maximum Homam Stay at +5 and MacIntyre Stays at +4. Matt Wallace is also +4 to four.

The first players are out of course, and these are the men who made the cut yesterday, with pairs in reverse order of leaderboard position.
We showed you Maximum Homam Yesterday the birdie on the 18th sneaked inside the cut line and he picked up where he left off with a spanking drive down the 1st, a short wedge and a kick-in birdie. That sees him climb up to +5.
India’s Subhankar Sharma Is the other going better now that he birdied the first two holes going from +6 to +4 in the blink of an eye? It will be interesting to see how these early starters get an idea of ​​how the course plays before the leaders go out later.
