Shane Lowry (-7) leads the 152nd Open Championship through 36 holes at Royal Troon. Daniel Brown and Justin Rose sit two back of Lowry, with former major champions Scottie Scheffler, Jason Day, and Xander Schauffele chasing. We run down the rest of the leaderboard to include some notable missed cuts and have KVV call in to discuss his day around the Postage Stamp.

Was Pinehurst a Trojan trackman course? You got the biggest highest ball hitters separating there and they can’t hit a shot in real conditties… just saying… putting it out there… mudders only innit!
Shoutout to neighbor Patrick. Going to need his picks for future opens for draftings purposes please and thanks DJ.
Thing about Lowry this year is he spent nearly a month in Ireland playing links so I guess his ball flight is dialled for wind .
That's Rory's problem the man refuses to hit a low ball
It's sad because Rory held course records on some of the toughest links all over Ireland at one point.
So how in the name of God can he think he can bomb a links course it's mad

Randy doesn't like Lowry because he knows how to use a wedge and Randy has never heard of one.
Worst draw: thurs groups 12-23 (38-49 fri)(+8.16)
Day 1 :(+4.02avg)
Day 2 :(+4.14avg) (38-49 day 2)
Made cut from these groups: rai,kirk,niemann, henley, pavon, rham, macintyre, harman, homa, english, migliozzi, crocker, morrison(a) 36% of players making cut, only Neimman finishing at Even Par through Friday
Ran into Team Rose at the Colonial this year and he couldn't have been a nicer guy. Rooting for him to take home the jug.
Ready to give up on Rory?!
That Sally dude is the worst thing about this show, yet he talks the most….
Fix this
KVV rules
Great pt from DJ about the change in conditions from Augusta/the Masters to the Open.
My guy KVV got a hell of a Burt Kreischer resemblance going in that hat 👌🏻
Nice contribution from Tron?🤮
Ogghh that was the varsity
KVV's hat also resembles ALOT the canadian company Hudson's Bay
The British Open is the LIV of major championships. Boo-ringggg!
I just want to know what KVV thinks about the Trump event.
KVVvvvvv?
Shout out to the audience segmentation data Soly manipulated to have a $15,000 launch monitor company AND Rhoback pay for ads
Don't really care who wins now, just glad that baby Tyrell is outta here. So happy he moved to LIV so he doesn't stain my golf watching anymore.
So obvious that Dean Burmester is going to win.
Gary Player is David Brent
British Isles Golf init. My course growing up had a par 3 on top of a cliff and you routinely had to aim 45 degress from target and hit it out to sea to get anywhere near the green. But yes. Shane is a bit different in that i think he doesn't overthink shots and makes a guess on wind effect. Most people i saw in r2 didn't quite compensate enough, couldn't trust themselves to ride the wind.
Gotta feel for a guy like Dan Brown. In the unlikely event of him winning the Open in a fairytale story the story is going to be overrun with headlines of book related puns 😂
Absolutely love Soly thinking he understands ball flight and wind better than Rory
Luke Donald is great on telecast
Postage Stamp is as good as Golden Bell at Augusta
