Scottie Scheffler has pulled ahead after 36 holes of the 2025 Open after a stunning 64 on Friday afternoon, which is the lowest round of the championship so far.
The World No.1 was pre-tournament favorite and he’s an even heavier favorite now with odds as low as -175 at the halfway stage.
Scheffler leads Matt Fitzpatrick by one with 36 holes left to play, with Brian Harman and Haotong Li a stroke further back. From there, there is a three stroke gap to five players on five-under, including Tyrrell Hatton and Robert MacIntyre.
