British Open Round 2 leaderboard, scores: Shane Lowry leads after second round as Daniel Brown, Justin Rose trail


Shane Lowry is 36 holes into the 2024 British Open and eyeing a second Claret Jug.

Lowry, despite a double bogey on his back nine, finished with two birdies in his final three holes to card a 69 on Friday and get to 7-under. That was good for a two-shot lead over the field heading into Moving Day.

Daniel Brown, who entered the day as the overnight leader after coming out of nowhere on Thursday, held strong at 5-under. Justin Rose fired a bogey-free 68 on Friday, too, and matched Brown at 5-under. Rose hasn’t won a major championship since his win at the U.S. Open in 2013. Lowry, Brown and Rose are all from Ireland or the United Kingdom, which is something that hasn’t been seen at the top of the leaderboard at the midway point since 1951.

Billy Horschel, Dean Burmester and top-ranked Scottie Scheffler will enter Saturday tied in fourth at 2-under.

After their wild battle in North Carolina, neither Bryson DeChambeau nor Rory McIlroy started their week in Scotland well. Friday wasn’t any better, either. McIlroy dropped to 11-over on the week, and DeChambeau finished at 9-over. They both missed the cut, too, which is something McIlroy hasn’t done at the British Open since 2019.

Tiger Woods, like he has so many times in recent years, struggled again too. Woods posted an 8-over 79 on Thursday, and then a 6-over 77 on Friday which led to a seventh missed cut or withdrawal in his last 10 starts.

  • Max Homa from deep

    Max Homa just drilled a 30-footer at the 18th to make the cut, and he absolutely erupted. What a way to finish at Royal Troon.

    Shane Lowry, Justin Rose and Daniel Brown have made history at the midway point of the British Open

  • Wind batters afternoon wave on Friday

    The wind in the afternoon wave at Royal Troon was awful.

    “I need to lie down in a dark room. It’s brutal out there,” Matthew Southgate said. “That’s one of the toughest experiences I’ve had on a golf course.”

  • Well done, Tyrrell Hatton

    Honestly, respect.

  • Rory holes out from the bunker

    Finally, Rory got something to go. He just holed out from a bunker for birdie at No. 14, which led to a great reaction. It won’t matter (he’s still 12-over on the week) but that’s how golf works.

  • Joaquin Niemann’s huge back nine

    It can sometimes take just one wobble to cost you a shot at a major championship, but Joaquin Niemann is trying to shake one off to stay in contention. Thru 16, he’s got six birdies on the day, which would usually mean a blistering streak up the leaderboard, but an 8 on the par-3 8th hole has tempered his rise. He does have four birdies on the back nine to steady the ship after the quintuple bogey. He sits at even par with two holes left, and seven shots back of leader Shane Lowry.

  • Jon Rahm making his way up the yellow leaderboard

    Rahm had the incredible chip in for birdie on No. 9, and he’s just picked up another shot with a birdie on 14. He’s 1-over for the week, 8 shots off the pace, and 1-under on the day. There are just 10 players under par for the championship and with rain in the forecast for tomorrow, conditions could make for some wild swings throughout the leaderboard, so as the wind starts to die down in the evening in Scotland, players like Rahm who still have a chance to make a dent in Shane Lowry’s lead will need to take advantage of the opportunities still on the course today.

  • DeChambeau in danger of missing the cut

    At 8-over for the tournament thru 13, DeChambeau is still on the wrong side of the cutline, which is expected to be at +5 or +6. He won the U.S. Open last month and had top 10s at both the Masters and PGA Championship this year.

  • A rough day at the office indeed for Aguri Iwasaki

  • Despite missing the cut at Royal Troon, Tiger Woods is planning on being back for 2025 at Royal Portrush

  • Justin Rose’s birdie on 18

    This could be the moment that propels Rose to a second major championship. What a reaction.

  • Has anyone had a better week than Justin Rose?

    Thirty-six holes. One bogey. Justin Rose is absolutely on fire, and after draining a bomb for birdie on 18, the 43-year-old Englishman is in for a 68 on the day and is 5-under for the tournament, tied for second. Remember, Rose had to go through qualification to get to the 2024 British Open and now he’ll be in one of the final pairings on Saturday.

  • DeChambeau trying to remain on the right side of the cutline

    It’s been a grind for the U.S. Open champion, but this chip in could help him reach the weekend.

  • Jason Day in red numbers heading into the weekend

    Jason Day got out early, before the winds really picked up, and he took advantage of the conditions that were a bit less windy in the early part of the day. He shot a bogey-free, 3-under 68 and sits at 1-under for the championship and six shots back of Shane Lowry. He’ll have a late tee time on Moving Day as he looks for a second major title after his 2015 PGA Championship.

  • Jon Rahm holes out at the 9th

    It’s exactly how you draw up a birdie. Pull hook into the right rough and then top a rescue shot into the heavy stuff on the left side … and then? Well, you read the headline, and they don’t cut highlights for regular old shots. Jon Rahm is one of the best players in the world and this’ll be one on his highlight reel for 2024. And at 2-over making the turn, the wind will now be at his back … but will it fill his sails and give him some momentum heading toward the weekend?

  • Watch Justin Thomas chip in on No. 12

    Justin Thomas has had an up and down tournament. He carded a 3-under 68 on Thursday, but Friday got off to an awful start, as he played the front nine at 7-over. The good news, as he navigates the back nine, is that he’s at 4-over through 12, which is two shots clear of the projected cut line (and this chip in helped his cause of trying to be in the money by getting to the weekend).

  • Rose finally makes a bogey but stays connected to leaders

    Justin Rose was probably never going to make it to Sunday evening without making a bogey, but he certainly gave it his best shot. It took 30 holes for Rose to eventually take a bogey on a hole — bogeying the 12th — but he remains just one of 10 players under par for the championship and is at 1-under overall for the day through 13. He’s 4 shots back of the leader, Shane Lowry, who’s done with his first 36 holes at 7-under.

  • Rory’s rough Round 2 start

    After playing himself out of contention on Thursday, Rory McIlroy likely needed to get under par for his second round to make the weekend, and through just four holes, it doesn’t look like he’ll be around for for rounds 3 and 4. After a couple of pars to start, McIlroy made bogey at No. 3 and triple bogey at No. 4 to sit at 11-over for the championship headed to the 5th tee. With the cutline projected to be at +6, it’ll be a struggle for Rory.
