The second round of the 153rd Open Championship has started at Royal Portrush Golf Course in Northern Ireland. A five-way tie for first place was the first round's result, with Haotong Li, Harris English, Matt Fitzpatrick, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Jacob Skov Olesen all sharing the lead. They'll have to deal with an onrushing Brian Harman, who shot a 65 on Friday and is 8 under.
