We often see surprise winners at The Open Championship more than any of the other three majors. If the first 36 holes are any indication, we could be in for a repeat this year after Brian Harman blitzed the field by getting out to 10-under par through his first two rounds. His round on Friday featured a closing eagle to cap a tournament-best round of 6-under 65.
Harman is seeking his first major championship at Royal Liverpool, and he'll do it as a longshot who had odds well into triple digits when the tournament started on Thursday.
It won't be easy for the former Georgia Bulldog, though, as he will have to avoid the many big numbers that are around this course. He's also up against local crowd favorite, Tommy Fleetwood, and several other big names. Fleetwood will pair up with Harman in the final tee time on Saturday, but will begin the day five shots back.
Sepp Straka, fresh off his win at the John Deere Classic, is the only player at 4-under before the leaderboard begins to bunch up a bit behind him. Overall, there are 24 players under par, but those back to even are a full 10 shots behind.
