246: Open Championship Friday Recap: Scottie Scheffler Surges To One-Shot Lead
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap an eventful Friday from Royal Portrush - a two-shot penalty for a moving ball, bats in the studio, and an untimely hot mic situation! The highlight of the day on the course was World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler posting 64 to head into the weekend with a one-shot lead. Smylie and Charlie discuss whether it's more likely that other players make their way back into the fold, or Scottie runs away with it to win his fourth major, leaving him a U.S. Open title away from a career Grand Slam. SK and CH also discuss the performances of Brian Harman, Tyrrell Hatton, and Harris English, and touch on a Sky Sports report that Keegan Bradley will be on the USA Ryder Cup team with Jim Furyk acting as a de facto captain while Keegan plays.
Join us right back here tomorrow for a full recap of the third round of the 153rd Open Championship!
