Overcast skies and 20-MPH winds greeted players in the start of Round 2 of The Open Championship. Forecasts for the rest of the day are expected to remain the same. Matt Kuchar started his round in a three-way tied for the lead with Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth. After a birdie on No. 4, Kuchar moved to 6-under and took sole possesion of the lead. He’d eventually give it back with a bogey on No. 8 and move back into a tie for the lead. Rory McIlroy, who opened the week by bogeying five of his first six holes, climbed back into red numbers this morning and made the turn at Royal Birkdale inside the top 10 on the leaderboard. Kuchar’s overnight co-leaders, Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka, will tee off at 9:48 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. ET respectively. Defending champion Henrik Stenson, who opened with a 1-under 69, will join Spieth on the tee at 9:48 a.m. • Round 2 leaderboard • Round 2 tee times Televeision Coverage Golf Channel – 1:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET
