2025 Open Championship: Round 2 tee times, featured pairings, and how to watch from Royal Portrush

Royal Portrush lived up to its reputation Thursday, throwing shifting weather and tough conditions at the field during a demanding opening round of the 2025 Open Championship.

Five players emerged atop the leaderboard at 4 under after matching 67s: Matt Fitzpatrick, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Haotong Li, Jacob Skov Olesen, and Harris English. Bezuidenhout (2:36 a.m. ET) and English (4:20 a.m.) will tee off early Friday, while Fitzpatrick (8:26 a.m.), Li (8:42 a.m.), and Olesen (6:09 a.m.) head out in the afternoon.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the chase at 3 under after a 68 and tees off late Friday at 10:10 a.m. with Shane Lowry (-1) and Collin Morikawa (+3). Tyrrell Hatton (-3) is also in striking range and starts at 4:36 a.m., while Jon Rahm (-1) is three back and plays at 9:59 a.m. with Xander Schauffele (E) and J.J. Spaun (+2).

Further down, stars like Rory McIlroy (-1), Tommy Fleetwood (+2), and Justin Thomas (+1) will try to push into contention, teeing off at 5:09 a.m. Bryson DeChambeau (+7), after a rough 78, needs a huge round at 4:47 a.m. to avoid missing another Open cut.
