Thank you from myself and Scott for following the second round with us. We’re set for a superb weekend. Early on Saturday afternoon, the crowds will seek to inspire magic from Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy (albeit Lowry did receive a two shot penalty after his round). Tyrrell Hatton and Robert MacIntyre will have high hopes. Matt Fitzpatrick will look to snipe at the leader. And you’ll be in the very safe hands of Scott for the final two days of major championship action in 2025!
