Nice solid 6 at the first. Must be giving everyone else a chance.

Cruel for Tiger, bogey at the 2nd and he's back to level par. He's now played the first two holes at +5 which makes the fact he's still at even par all the more astonishing. He will battle back now like he did yesterday.

Well this is looking like a Rory masterclass so far. After a shaky start to his round, he is now back to ripping the stick out. -8 after 8 and 2 in the lead, the wind has died down and I will not be surprised if he shoots another score in the mid 60's. Great stuff.

Great stuff from Rory, looks like Tiger has just made the cut by the skin of his teeth. Not many good signs for him at the moment but the match practice will do him good.
A long way to go yet but Rory looking good with a short shot in to 17 and a par 5 to come.

Well the Friday curse has struck Rory again - just a 66 to add to his first round 66. -12 and at least a 4 shot lead. An excellent round of golf, did not really look in any trouble at all. Not sure why we had to watch every one of Tiger's 77 shots when there were 50 odd people out on the course playing better than him, but there we go. Tom Watson makes the cut again at the age of 64 - he really is the grandmaster of links golf.

Rory odds on to win after today. I'll be hovering on the lay button on betfair tomorrow. I don't think this will be like Kaymar in the US Open. He has blown up too much recently for this to be done and dusted.

Rory played very well Today and is a decent enough front runner - when he wins, he often wins by miles. This is his week.
Two tee start Tomorrow as the forecast is shite - no tee times yet.
Weather forces two-tee start on Saturday
The Open Championship will employ a two-tee start for the first time in its history because of the risk of thunderstorms on Saturday. Play is scheduled to start at 09:00 BST from both the first and 10th tee, with the field split into groups of three rather than two. It is hoped that will allow the round to be completed on schedule even if there are delays of up to five hours.

Billy can I start by saying I normally agree with everything you say. We will unfortunately agree to differ on this. I think Rory has a blow up in him. On the bright side one of us has bragging rights cone Sunday.
Thunder storms will also benefit some not others I'd imagine. This ain't over.

It will go either way Iggle but he looked so calm Today, once he'd sunk the putt on the 3rd for par. His biggest problem Tomorrow might be trying to smash it past Dustbin.

The one thing in his favour is the shear number of bottle jobs in his wake. DJ's arse starts twitching earlier than most. As for Garcia..

Players out in 3 balls from 9AM - http://scores.theopen.com/en/TeeTimes.aspx
Tiger out last off the tenth so it appears that the race for the worst player in the Championship will be the focus of the Americans
Looks like the weather is in its way there so will be touch and go if they get it done Today.

Plenty of birdies out there, even Tiger is making them. Rory giving the field a chance with a bogey on the first but he looks like he's settled down again after a ropey start. Dry there at the moment but it looks like rain is on the way shortly.
Keeping The Dream Alive.

Allis really is a terrible commentator these days.

Allis and James have been absolute bollocks all afternoon - pair of buffoons.

Been working today so not been watching - sounds like Rory gave them half a chance and is now in the process of taking that chance away from them again.

Ricky and Sergio are taking it away from themselves too. They are playing slow slow slow too. Rory and Dustbin have been held up all day.

Eagle on the last for Rory to give him a 6 shot lead which should be enough for a procession round Tomorrow

Any other player and I'd agree with you.
I reckon the demons will return tomorrow and he'll throw it all away. Great golfer but mentally very fragile.
Brilliant Eagle. 3 perfect shots. Loving this tournament.
