PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Two down, two to go. A total of 71 golfers shot one-over 143 or better during the opening 36 holes of the 148th Open Championship, advancing to the weekend with hopes of walking away from Royal Portrush late Sunday night with the claret jug.
There were of course some notable names who won’t be teeing off on Saturday: major champions Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Keegan Bradley all missed the cut by a shot. Other marquee players missing from the tee sheet: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Darren Clarke, Gary Woodland, Padraig Harrington and Adam Scott.
But enough about those who aren’t sticking around. Those that are will find themselves teeing off a little later than normal for a Saturday at the Open. The first player off, Paul Waring, begins at 9:35 a.m. local time, or 4:35 on the East Coast. The final twosome of J.B. Holmes and Shane Lowry, co-leaders at eight under 134, don’t start until 3:50 p.m. local time (10:50 a.m. EDT). In other words, East Coasters who got up early to watch Thursday and Friday’s rounds can sleep in a bit.
