How to watch every single shot from the biggest names in golf throughout Round 2 at the 2025 Open Championship

The second round of the Open Championship begins on Friday in Northern Ireland, as Scottie Scheffler sits one shot off the lead after one day of play.

Rory McIlroy came close to finishing among the leaders in the first round of the Open, but the back nine proved it can be a tough challenge for anyone.

A deluge did land as McIlroy was making his way up the 18th hole, where he was greeted by a sea of umbrellas and a huge roar from the crowds huddled beneath them, who are only too delighted to have their hero around for two more days after he worked hard for a two-under second round of 69 to add to his opening 70.

At this time six years ago, Rory McIlroy was already on his way home, heartbroken about missing the cut in his first “home” British Open.
