Midway Point of the British Open: Shane Lowry Takes Command
Shane Lowry dominates the leaderboard at the British Open’s midway point. After carding a 69 on Friday, he leads by two shots at 7-under. Heavy winds impacted the afternoon wave, eliminating several top competitors early.
Daniel Brown, who led after the first round, posted a 1-over 72 and starts Saturday at 5-under with Justin Rose, who matched the day’s low round with a 68. This marks the first time since 1951 that players from the UK and Ireland lead the Open at this stage.
Scottie Scheffler, ranked No. 1, trails by five shots at 2-under. He’s riding high after a recent playoff win at the Travelers Championship. Tune in to USA Network, NBC, or stream on Peacock for the third round. For full coverage, keep up with Yahoo Sports.
