To have a tee time for Saturday’s third round of the 2025 British Open means you successfully navigated the opening two rounds at Royal Portrush. Sounds simple, but that’s quite the accomplishment considering how long and grueling those two rounds tend to be—first shot off at 6:35 a.m. local time, final group off the 18th green just before 10 p.m.

Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler will start Round 2 just a single shot behind thanks to an opening 68. But it's Brian Harman who has made the early run in Round 2, firing a 6-under 65 to move to -8 and take the clubhouse lead.
