The Open 2019 tee times: Third round start times for Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and more

The Open Championship in numbers

A year after sacking his caddie following his fourth straight missed cut in the The Open, Ireland’s Shane Lowry will take a share of the lead – and Rory McIlroy‘s fervent support – into the third round of the year’s final major.

Lowry carded a second consecutive 67 at Royal Portrush to join American JB Holmes on eight under par, with Tommy Fleetwood – who could follow Ryder Cup partner Francesco Molinari in lifting the Claret Jug – and Lee Westwood a shot behind.

Olympic champion Justin Rose is a stroke further back alongside Cameron Smith and Justin Harding, with world number one Brooks Koepka ominously poised on five under in pursuit of a fifth major win in his last 10 starts.

Former champion Jordan Spieth was alongside Koepka after a 67, but McIlroy and Tiger Woods missed the halfway cut, McIlroy agonisingly doing so by a single shot after following his opening 79 with a superb 65.

That was a special day at Royal Portrush and it seemed that the crowd's  backing had Shane Lowry rising high on a crest of support as he seemingly cruised to a brilliant lead over Tommy Fleetwood, who added to his brilliant second day too.
