Young will have his work cut out for him as 2014 Golf Champion Rory McIlroy was alone in second entering the 2nd round on Friday. McIlroy is looking to win his first major since 2014 and break away from the commendable top-10 finishes that have highlighted his first three such appearances this season. While McIlroy is Young’s closest pursuer, Dustin Johnson jumped him to the top of the leaderboard after the morning session, sitting at 9 under through 36 holes. Johnson, Young, McIlroy and 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler are among the big names on top as Round 2 continues. Unfortunately, Tiger Woods is neither at the top of the leaderboard nor in contention. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Tiger followed a 6-over 78 on Thursday with a 2-over 75 on Friday to sit 9 over for the tournament and miss the cut. Woods has not played on the weekend in back-to-back Opens (2019) and back-to-back trips to St. Andrews (2015), named his favorite golf course in the world. Tiger was in tears as he took an emotional walk down the fairway Friday, though he didn’t stop while swinging the Swilcan Bridge, showing he will likely at least try to return to the Old Course one more time before his career ends. With a star-studded field, St. Andrews to act as a historic setting and pressure, since it is the last championship of the year, the 150th Open Championship is already shaping up to be an unforgettable championship.
