So of the early starters, who has done the most Moving so far today, then? Step forward Scotland’s only representative in this year’s Open, Robert MacIntyre. The 24-year-old from Oban was out in 33 this morning, and has since birdied 14 and now 17. He’s en route to a 66 should he par his way up the last, and is -3 overall for the tournament.
Welcome to Moving Day … and if it’s half as good as the second round, we’re in for a treat. Yesterday saw sensational 64s for Collin Morikawa, Emiliano Grillo and Jon Rahm, all three of whom came within inches of equalling Nick Faldo and Payne Stewart’s course record. There were fine 65s by the 36-hole leader Louis Oosthuizen, the defending champion Shane Lowry, 2011 redemption-story-in-waiting Dustin Johnson, and the amateur Matthias Schmid. Also there was a feelgood hole-in-one for the debutant Jonathan Thomson! Not bad, huh? So here’s how the top of the leader board looked after 36 holes, with Oosthuizen having set a new 36-hole record at the Open …
-11: Oosthuizen
-9: Morikawa
-8: Spieth
-7: Frittelli, Johnson, Scheffler
-6: van Tonder, Grillo, Siem, Sullivan, Harding
-5: Casey, Koepka, Hughes, Rahm, Tringale
-4: Finau, Fox, Conners, Smith, Willett, Harman, Lowry, Snedeker
