The second round of the 2026 Open Championship begins early Friday morning at Royal Birkdale in England. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament on Friday, including full Open Championship TV coverage, streaming details and complete Round 2 tee times.
How to watch the Open on Friday
Heading into Friday’s second round at the Open, plenty of big-name stars can be found near the top of the leaderboard.
There you’ll find Bryson DeChambeau (three under), Cameron Young (three under), defending champion Scottie Scheffler (two under) and Collin Morikawa (two under), to name just a few.
But the name that rose above all the rest on Thursday was one most golf fans are likely unfamiliar with: Jackson Suber.
The 26-year-old American pro surprised everyone when he went out and shot a 65 on Day 1 at Royal Birkdale. That gave Suber a one-shot lead heading into Round 2, but with lots of firepower on his tail.
