The 2025 Open Commute – Round 2 Recap LIVE from Royal Portrush
Death, taxes and Scottie Scheffler looking good for a win.
Those are the three certainties in life, and so it proved on day two of The 153rd Open. World No.1 Scheffler moved into pole position to win the Claret Jug after a scintillating 64 at Royal Portrush.
Will he go on to finish the job this weekend? Could Bob MacIntyre be the one to stop him? And what the hell was that Shane Lowry rules incident all about?
Michael McEwan and Lewis Fraser discuss on today’s episode of the Open Commute - the perfect way to start Open Saturday.
