In it goes!

Ryan Fox pops in his par putt and matches the 62s shot by Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns yesterday.

A fantastic round by the New Zealander and he's tied with Herbert at the top.

Fox was playing with Xander Schauffele - who has two major 62s tucked away of course - and the 2024 champion wasn't too shabby today either with a four-under 66 moving him to four under.

So, 47 feet for Ryan Fox.

This for the first 61 in the men's major championship history.

Here it goes. Nope, never had the pace. Four feet or so left for a 62.

So, two record-equalling rounds of 62 on Friday.

Are we about to see that matched - or maybe even beaten - by Ryan Fox in the next couple of minutes?

The two-shot penalty imposed on Bryson DeChambeau was an eventful end to an eventful second day at the Open.

Also on Friday:

• Australia's Lucas Herbert and American Sam Burns shot rounds of 62 - equalling the record for the lowest round at a men's major - to put themselves into contention at Royal Birkdale. Herbert held a two-shot overnight lead on eight under, with Burns five under.
• Cameron Young, the Players Championship winner, carded a second consecutive round of 67 to head the group at six under par.
• Hometown hero Tommy Fleetwood, defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and Spain's Jon Rahm were all four shots off the lead at the halfway mark.
• Among the players to miss the cut were Aaron Rai and Wyndham Clark, the winners of the past two majors, as well as English duo Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose.

Ryan Fox has 193 yards from the fairway bunker and he's given it the full treatment.

What a shot! It skims the top of the lip but still manages to find the green. It's a long putt, but he's given himself a chance for a 61...

Some big-name players are already out on the course at Royal Birkdale, but those near the top of the leaderboard are yet to start their third round. Here are the afternoon tee-times:

• 14:15 Ludvig Aberg (Swe), Shane Lowry (Ire)
• 14:25 JJ Spaun (US), Pierceson Coody (US)
• 14:35 Jon Rahm (Spa), Tommy Fleetwood (Eng)
• 14:45 Scottie Scheffler (US), Francesco Molinari (Ita)
• 15:00 Alex Fitzpatrick (Eng), Robert MacIntyre (Sco)
• 15:10 Thomas Detry (Bel), Bud Cauley (US)

• 15:30 Bryson DeChambeau (US), Sam Burns (US)
• 15:40 Ryan Gerard (US), Cameron Young (US)

Ryan Fox needs a birdie at the last to become the first man to shoot a 61 in major competition, but he's angry with himself after slicing his drive into the fairway bunker.

A birdie's looking unlikely now, but Sam Burns holed out from the greenside bunker for a 62 yesterday so let's not rule it out just yet!

Like last year, Rory McIlroy started the third round seven shots off the lead.

Twelve months ago, McIlroy thrilled his home crowd at Royal Portrush with three birdies in his first four holes en route to a five-under 66, but he's taken longer to ignite the massive gallery shadowing him at Royal Birkdale.

After a couple of opening pars, McIlroy slumped to a careless three-putt bogey on the third and compounded that error with a five at the next, leaving him over par for the tournament.

However, the 2014 champion bounced back with a birdie at the fifth and has just chipped in for an eagle two at nine!

Woah, out of nowhere.

Ryan Fox has shown the contenders what's possible out there.

The 39-year-old New Zealander, who is yet to post a top-10 finish in 28 major appearances, skipped to the turn in five under par and birdied 10.

While he bogeyed 13, gains at 14, 16 and 17 means he will fire a record-breaking 61 with a three at the last!

Suddenly he's tied for the lead with a glorious surge through the field.

Justin Thomas, who pleaded for the R&A to release today's tee times on social media last night, is three under for his round.

Elsewhere, 22-year-old Spaniard Jose Ballester carded six birdies in the space of 10 holes but finished with a bogey to card a 66.

Right then, where do we start with this?

Firstly, of course, should Bryson DeChambeau have been given that two-shot penalty?

Intent doesn't really apply in the rule, so did his stomping around the thick grass improve his lie, stance or backswing?

And did the TV replays prove conclusively that he did break the rules? Golf is renowned for being self-policing so should the R&A have taken Bryson's word for it?

Until the post-round drama, it was a brilliant day on the links for Bryson DeChambeau at Royal Birkdale.

Despire Sir NIck Faldo's pre-tournament thoughts that DeChambeau had "zero strategy" for The Open, the American is right in contention to win the Claret Jug.

He shot 66 on Friday, which was DeChambeau's fifth straight sub-70 round in The Open, so even though that was revised to a 68 with the two-shot penalty it's still some effort.

Now he's got extra motivation, this could actually work in his favour.

Bryson DeChambeau also posted a couple of pictures on Instagram showing him floating above the thick grass where that now infamous penalty occurred.

Bryson DeChambeau was clearly upset at the penalty and at one stage it was even rumoured he was considering pulling out of the tournament.

But after hitting the driving range until darkness fell, he posted on social media to say the episode would "fire him up" for the remaining two rounds.

What a turn of events we had last night, when all of a sudden Bryson DeChambeau was spotted back out in the rough on the fifth hole well after his round had ended, in heated discussions with R&A officials.

Eventually it was confirmed that the American had been given a two-shot penalty for inadvertently improving his lie in the rough during his brilliant round of 66 on Friday.

Rule 8.1 was the one deemed to have been broken, with DeChambeau adjudged to have improved his lie and/or backswing by treading on the thick fescue grass around his ball.

Instead of being second on seven under, DeChambeau starts today in fifth on five under.

Only one place to start...

Let's hope today is a bit more eventful than that snoozy Friday at The Open, eh, golf fans?

Phew! Where do we start? Not one, but two record rounds of 62 shot on Royal Birkdale, big names like Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick and Jordan Spieth missing the cut, while Tommy Fleetwood thrilled his home crowd with a late surge.

Oh, and of course that two-shot penalty handed out to one of the biggest names in the sport late in the day.

We'll bring you all the latest from the Bryson DeChambeau saga, with the boss of the R&A speaking to the BBC a short time ago, while also keeping you in touch with the first knockings of round three.

Rory McIlroy is among those out on the course on moving day - so make sure you stick around as who knows what today will bring...
