Brian Harman drained a 15-foot eagle putt at the last hole to close out a brilliant bogey-free 65, catapulting him into a five-shot lead at the end of the second round of the 151st Open Championship on Friday.
The American started the day one off the pace at four-under, but ended it walking into the clubhouse on 10-under at Royal Liverpool, a tricky course which barely challenged Harman’s penchant for fairway-finding and clutch putting.
The lefty zipped past one of the first-round co-leaders, Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, who carded an even-par 71 to sit in second place at five-under.
That pair will go out last on Saturday at 3.30pm — here are the rest of the day’s tee times.
