Bryson DeChambeau might have cost himself a chance at winning another major on the first day of the 153rd Open Championship. DeChambeau is the most prominent golfer in danger of missing the projected cut line as the second round of the 2025 British Open continues Friday at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland.

The British Open is underway at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Two-time champion Padraig Harrington of Ireland had the honor of the opening tee shot. Xander Schauffele of the United States is trying to become the first player since Harrington in 2007-08 to win the Open in successive years.

American Brian Harman proved his liking for links golf again when he moved top of the British Open second-round leaderboard as home favourite Rory McIlroy's rollercoaster ride continued at Royal Portrush on Friday.

Scottie Scheffler successfully navigated the adverse weather conditions to post an excellent first round at the Open Championship.

In 2019, which was the last time Royal Portrush hosted the event, The Open experienced severe rain and wind throughout the weekend, making it difficult for the field. This year, the forecast calls for a chance to repeat, as rain and wind could impact the final major of the year.

Royal Portrush is not only open to visitors, but its yearly membership dues are what the average American golfer spends on public tee times.

Golf nourishes itself with low-hanging narratives, those saccharine, feel-good tales about lives redeemed or neighborhoods rejuvenated thanks to the royal and ancient game.

The first two rounds of The Open have seen elite players yet again fuming over the painfully slow pace of play at Royal Portrush.
