The 2024 Open Championship continues Friday with three of pristine golf remaining at one of the world's best courses. Royal Troon proved to a be a beast across the first 18 holes setting the stage as a tough test over the next 54 holes of the year's final major. This as the grounds are filled to capacity with some of the top golfers in the game battling it out to claim the Claret Jug at the 152nd playing of the sport's oldest tournament.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy sat atop the oddsboard entering the first 18 holes of play, but McIlroy is nowhere near the top now having scored a 78 in his first round. He was not alone struggling at Royal Troon as Tiger Woods actually shot one stroke higher than McIlroy on Thursday and is now firmly below the cutline after going 79-77 over the first 36 holes in Scotland.

Meanwhile, Scheffler, already a six-time winner on the PGA Tour this season who has brought in a record $28 million, remains in contention. He is three shots back of 36-hole clubhouse leader Shane Lowry, who averted disaster Friday and sits 5 under.
