What can Brown do for you?
For those looking for a big story at the 2024 British Open, 29-year-old English golfer Daniel Brown delivered on Thursday. Light on success at recent tournaments, Brown snatched the lead from Shane Lowry with a birdie putt on No. 18 to head into Round 2 as the outright leader.
Brown was decisive and methodical throughout the afternoon, and perhaps even surgical on his later holes: He wasted no time dropping in the birdie putt, maybe signaling to the rest of the field that he’s in the right state of mind leading into the rest of the tournament.
Heading into Round 2, Brown will have to hold off Lowry and keep the good juju flowing – and, according to him, maybe keep his family and friends from getting a bit too jazzed up, as well.
USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from the 2024 Open Championship below.

McIlroy starts second round, attempting to make cut, Rose continues streak

On the par 4 second hole, his driver landed him in the rough, landing 117 yards from the hole, with his second landing in the semi-rough and left a 7-foot putt to save par, which he nailed.
Justin Rose is playing mistake-free golf after saving par on the 9th hole and has now gone 27 holes without a bogey. He currently sits at 4-under.
Justin Rose makes his move, Scottie Scheffler within striking range
Justin Rose is off to an outstanding start in his second round. After a beautiful approach on the 7th, Rose easily made birdie to move within three shots of the lead.

Tiger Woods misses the cut, finishes 14-over par

After carding an 8-over 79 during the first round, it was more of the same on Friday for the 15-time major winner as he missed the cut at his third straight major tournament, finishing at 14-over par. The last time that happened was in 2015, when he failed to make the weekend at the U.S. Open, The British Open, and the PGA Championship.

Daniel Brown lands birdie, back as co-leader
Daniel Brown started his back nine in style by making a birdie putt on the 450-yard par-4 No. 10. That puts Brown back into a tie for the lead with Shane Lowry at 5 under. Lowry has been even through the second round through 15 holes.
Wind kicking up at Royal Troon
It wouldn’t be a British Open without the elements coming into play. And, almost suddenly, wind is impacting play all around Royal Troon. It’s going to make the second half of this second round pretty interesting.
Bogey on No. 2 for Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas started the second round in a tie for third place at 3 under, but the two-time PGA Championship winner has already given one back.
After saving par on No. 1, Thomas bogeyed the 389-yard par-4 hole on No. 2. Thomas remains in a tie for third at 2 under.

Chaos on No. 11 for Shane Lowry
Shane Lowry runs into some trouble on No. 11. He hits his second shot into a gorse bush, cursing at a cameraman. Lowry then drops and hits a provisional onto the green to 20 feet in what would have presumably led to a bogey. However, a spectator found his second shot in the middle of the gorse bush. More than 20 minutes later, Lowry takes a drop and hits it to the front of the green. He then two putts for a costly double bogey and moves back into a share for the lead with Daniel Brown.
Patrick Cantlay moving up the leaderboard
Patrick Cantlay is perhaps having the best round of the day. The American birdies No. 10 to take him 4 under on the round and 2 under for the championship. He moves within five strokes of the leader Shane Lowry.

However, that was met by a bogey on No. 5 to move into a tie with Daniel Brown for the lead. Brown is even through the first two holes.
Tiger Woods stumbles out the gate to start second round
