Brilliant sunshine and humid conditions made for a perfect tableau on the second day of The Open and, while Rory McIlroy couldn’t take advantage, there were plenty of others who did through the morning’s play.
Rasmus Hojgaard and Brian Harman shared the lead on six-under par approaching lunchtime and over halfway through their rounds. The Dane carded five birdies and just one bogey through 14, the American was flawless through ten with four birdies.
