The final major of the year has begun with the running of the 152nd Open Championship and Shane Lowry is set to hold the clubhouse lead after round two, in pursuit of his second Open title, with English major debutant Daniel Brown and Justin Rose on his tail.
Lowry added a second round of 69 to his opening 66 for a halfway total of seven under par which always looked insurmountable due to a strengthening wind causing havoc for the later starters.
