There were 20 LIV golfers in the field at the 2025 British Open when the tournament started at Royal Portrush on Thursday morning.
After 36 holes, just about half are advancing to the weekend, while the rest are booking flights home.
The best outing by a LIV golfer so far this week is Tyrrell Hatton, who’s tied for fifth. Lee Westwood, who got in via final qualifying, is next in a tie for 12th. There were 11 golfers who made the cut.
How does it feel to be in contention once again in a major?
“I didn’t really think about it, to be honest,” Westwood said. “No, I’m just enjoying playing one of the greatest courses in the world in one of the greatest championships. I wasn’t thinking it.”
Bryson DeChambeau also made the cut after a dreadful start to his week. He shot 78 on Thursday but rebounded with a 65 on Friday.
