TROON: Ireland’s Shane Lowry led the Open from English qualifier Dan Brown after a masterful second round at Royal Troon and world number one Scottie Scheffler and England’s Justin Rose were moving ominously into contention on Friday.

Links lover Lowry, the 2019 champion, rolled in a superb 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th green to complete a two-under 69 to reach seven under, two shots clear of overnight leader Dan Brown who again impressed with a one-over 72.
