Rory McIlroy’s birdie on the final hole on Friday to get under par keeps him in with a chance of Open Championship glory – although he’s likely to need some help from the rest of the field this weekend if he's to finally claim Major number five.
By the time McIlroy had finished his round, Brian Harman was safe in the clubhouse at ten-under, courtesy of a six-under-65, and nine shots ahead of the world number two.
