The Open 2024 LIVE: Golf leaderboard and scores from round two as Shane Lowry and Tiger Woods out on course

Spieth narrowly avoids moving into the red but he does make par on his first hole of the day.

Cam Young does manage to birdie that same hole, and he moves up to +1.

Scottie Scheffler narrowly avoids the fairway bunker with his tee shot on the second, while Xander Schauffele finds the rough with his tee shot on the par-five fourth.

Tiger Woods, who’s fallen to +10 now, drives well with his tee shot on the fourth.

Tyrrell Hatton hit out at Royal Troon after a difficult first round at The Open, suggesting that the Ayrshire links course has been made overly long and is no longer enjoyable to play.

The combustable 32-year-old is seldom afraid to speak his mind on courses, previously saying that Augusta doesn’t “suit my eye” ahead of The Masters.

Hatton believes that Troon, which has been lengthened by almost 200 yards since it last hosted The Open in 2016, has been overly extended, reflecting a trend of making courses longer to combat the bigger hitting golfers of today.

“There’s a few holes that are just obviously playing really long,” Hatton said after the opening round at the Ayrshire links. “Unfortunately, that’s where it’s going at the moment, where they just seem to try to make it longer to make it harder, which I think doesn’t make it the most enjoyable test.”

That’s a bit of a surprise. Xander Schauffele misses a five-footer for par and drops a shot at the 2nd to fall to -1. Meanwhile, playing partner Patrick Cantlay makes birdie and climbs to +1.

World No 1 and tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler is up and running. He looks ominously poised at -1 heading into day two. He pipes his first drive down the fairway.

Up on the green, Shane Lowry starts with a birdie! His tee shot dribbled into the first cut of rough but he flicked a wedge from 109 yards and then rolled in nine-footer to join Daniel Brown atop the leaderboard at -6!

Brooks Koepka puts an opening-hole bogey behind him to birdie the 2nd and return to -1 for the championship. He’s joined on that score, just outside the top 10, by Canada’s Corey Conners (-1 for his round) and USA’s Billy Horschel (-2 for his round).

US PGA champion Xander Schauffele has also started his round and parred the 1st to stay at -2, while Shane Lowry’s opening tee shot find the right rough but he should be able to find the green from 109 yards with minimal fuss.

Germany’s Marcel Siem took advantage of more favourable conditions on the second day of the 152nd Open as a five-birdie blitz saw him charge up the leaderboard.

Royal Troon’s front nine is traditionally where most of the scoring can be done but Thursday’s winds made that more difficult.

However, with an easing of the breeze there were more opportunities to be had and the 44-year-old, playing in his seventh championship, took full advantage in the first group out and that offered hope to big-name stars like Rory McIlroy looking to get their tournaments back on track after a tough first day.

Not long now until Shane Lowry tees off (9.47am) to try and catch Daniel Brown atop the leaderboard – here are some of the other notable tee times coming up in the next 30 minutes or so.

Brooks Koepka (-1) has just got his round underway, by the way, playing alongside Hideki Matsuyama (+4) and Wyndham Clark (+7)

09:25: Patrick Cantlay (US), Xander Schauffele (US), Tiger Woods (US)

09:36: Sam Burns (US), Si-Woo Kim (Kor), Collin Morikawa (US)

09:47: Matthew Fitzpatrick (Eng), Shane Lowry (Ire), Cameron Smith (Aus)

09:58: Scottie Scheffler (US), Jordan Spieth (US), Cameron Young (US)

Full list of round two tee times:

Not a bad start to the morning for Marcel Siem, although he has just bogeyed the 11th to drop back to -1

After his five early birdies, Marcel Siem gave a shot back at the 9th to fall to -2 but has since parred the 10th. He’s got the tougher back nine coming up now, so can he hold his position?

A couple of southern hemisphere stars also making early moves as Australian Jason Day and New Zealand’s Ryan Fox – who is the son of legendary All Blacks fly half Grant Fox – are both two-under for their round and evens for the championship.

The Marcel Siem express really is in full flow now. He’s just rolled in an eight-footer for birdie at the par-three 8th to move to five-under for his round and is now in a tie for third at -3 overall!

Here’s how Shane Lowry moved to -5 on the final hole last night, posting an opening round of 66
