After rounds of 69 and 65, Brian Harman is in contention once again to secure a Claret Jug at Royal Portrush, with the American eight-under-par at the halfway stage.
In 2023, Harman dominated at Royal Liverpool, producing a 13-under-par total that was six shots clear of his nearest challengers - Sepp Straka, Jason Day, Tom Kim and Jon Rahm.
