There are several big names who need to go on a big run on Friday to even make the weekend, including Bryson DeChambeau. He fired a 7-over to drop down to the tail end of the leaderboard. Patrick Reed, Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa and Brooks Koepka weren't much better, either.

A thrilling 2025 golf season has reached its final major as The Open Championship continues its 153rd playing on Friday at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The oldest golf tournament in the world is back in Portrush for the first time in six years with the Claret Jug set to be awarded on site Sunday for just the third time in event history.

There's a five-way tie for the lead after the first round of the 153rd Open Championship. Jacob Skov Olesen, Haotong Li, Matt Fitzpatrick, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Harris English all shot 4-under 67 to set the pace in Northern Ireland.

Rory McIlroy shot 1-under 70 in the first round of the British Open at Royal Portrush that is also serving as a homecoming for the Northern Irish star.
