I see the SkySports golf channel has already started live coverage ahead of coverage on this side of the pond.

Coverage started at midnight on Peacock

Some low scores out there early today. Brian Harman is 4 under on his round thru 10 and is atop the leader board at -8.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Cut currently projected at +2. Conditions early look pretty similar to most of yesterday with a touch more breeze. Slight chance of rain in the afternoon with winds and gusts picking up.

Patrick Reed on the 1st sporting his Aces cap. It'd be a shame if he shot a smooth 81 today.

Rahm right on the the projected cut line after bogeying the 9th.

Harman with an eagle on 18 to finish at -10 after a lovely 65. Talk about an ideal position to be while the rest of the field is going to have their hands full trying to stay within striking distance.

Lamprecht is shitting all over himself from the tee box this morning. Edit: He just hit his 3rd shot from the cart path after taking an unplayable. Didn't come close to keeping it on the green. He's got a knee knocker for bogey on the 4th which would be his 3rd of the round already.

This leaderboard sucks. 

 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Spieth, Day and Fitzpatrick finishing the 1st. Jordan just missed a birdie after flying the green. Day sinks his put to get to even.

 

[ztejas 43,602]

Weather is going to be tough the next two days. Harman could maybe go 71/71 and bag this thing.

Would you relax. You're always doing this.

I'm not saying Harman has it locked up. I'm saying I wouldn't be shocked if -10 or -11 wins this tournament. A number of guys could get to that number.

The next best round out there is -3 so far and like we saw yesterday the course will likely play tougher as the day goes on.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Cut has moved to +3. Rory and Rahm both look certain to make it although Rahm was flirting with MC earlier.

Spieth birdie on 2 gets him to -3.

Scottie, Fairway Jesus and Adam Scott just teed off.

Hatton meltdown on #18 😂

Hitting 5 from the tee he missed the greenside bunker on 1 by a couple yards.

[dcar00 14,435]

I'm on peacock and I can't get the speith group.  they are showing the terrell hatton open apparently.

[ztejas 43,602]

I don't have anything against BH but there's a lot of big boys lurking. It would be fun if he could card a 75 tomorrow.

On Peacock too... still no Spieth group coverage

[dcar00 14,435]

💥 Spieth missed eagle, Birdies #5

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Some notables who will be getting on a jet across the Atlantic soon (current cut +2)
 

Morikawa +4 (36)

Finau +6 (36)

Lefty +9 (36)

JT +11 (36)

DJ +13!!!! (36)

Reed is +3 through 10 and +2 on the tourney so he could still MC.
 

 

[LTtxfan 49,386]

Spieth Group coverage now working on Peacock.

Nice tee shot on #6 par 3, Spieth will be putting for birdie

[Wally Fairway 5,596]

Hey look I play as well as Christo - I can't tell you how many times I could have broken 40 on the front nine, if I could just birdie 1 of the last 2 holes.
C'mon Christo, keep the dream alive.

Faldo with the "Spieth needs to dig deep and try to make something happen here" before Jordan's 30 foot eagle putt when he was -3 and 7 strokes and firmly in the top 5 was something.

Spieth with the sweet tee shot within 20 feet right over the top of the flag on 6 🤘

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Here we go, Jordan!!!

Everyone is acting like Harman has no chance of shooting 72-74 on the weekend and -10 is the number.

[dcar00 14,435]

the spotters didn't act like they knew where the ball was on Spieth's drive

Um. Faldo knows what he's talking about. There's a double or a few bogeys out there somewhere for Jordan - he needs a nice buffer.

So are you saying Sir Nick is a believer in the Jordancoaster?

He should. The Jordancoaster believes in him. 

[thunderlounge 7,979]

Jordan -5 through 7. 
 

Bunker on 8. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Back to back tidy up & downs by Jordan.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,379]

Nothing wrong with 32 on the way out, Jordan. Keep it up on the way in and get yourself positioned for tomorrow.

Spieth doing Spieth things by missing greens badly from the middle of the fairway.

Yeah, two holes in a row.  Jordan needs a birdie soon...

Sure hope Spieth makes this bogey putt 

[dieucla98 2,942]

It's the Open. Avoid 3 putts and double bogeys (apparently Tiger said that, did you hear?). He can bounce back from this.

[LTtxfan 49,386]

Btw... Peacock app sucks

Judging by the timing of your posts, you should switch to the Open's website featured groups coverage - looks to be slightly ahead and better commentators.
