british eyes falling on tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy. tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy.h a round of 71 yesterday and he will look for a fast start, as will rory mcilroy, both on five under. four behind the lead. rory mcilroy has won and open championship in 2014 and he hopes he will be able to draw on that in the final round. i have got a bit of experience at this, maybe more so than some of the other guys on the leaderboa rd, than some of the other guys on the leaderboard, but the leaderboard is packed with a lot of very, very good players. the only good thing is there are not many players between me and the lead. it is not that bunch. a lot of people behind that between five and nine only a handful of guys, which is nice. he might wa nt to of guys, which is nice. he might want to look at name alongside him on the leaderboard, tiger woods also on the leaderboard, tiger woods also on five under. an impressive round from him yesterday. who would think that tiger woods is being contention for another major after the battles with form and fitness and it sets up the intrigui

tommy fleetwood as well dropping away.jordan spieth and xander schauffele. someone we didn't know great deal about. those two setting the field alight. xander schauffele almost drained a monster putt as they approached the turn. you mentioned rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood. a lot of missed putts? yeah, that is the problem —— been the problem rory mcilroy today and in the past. if he seems to get his putter going and he has a hot streak, he can build on that. he has missed a few. that is costing him. when he came into its last round he said he needed a fast start and he just wasn't able to get that with a couple of bogeys in that round. he has just pulled back a couple of bogeys in that round. he hasjust pulled back a birdie. disappointment for him. tommy fleetwood as well. people expecting big things from him coming into the championship. not least because he holds the course record at carnoustie. he shot is 63 last year at the alfred dunhill links last year. he produced that superb round to give himself a chance going i

let's hearfrom tommy fleetwood who was clearly delighted with his round yesterday.e never been anywhere near before. so far, for two rounds, i'm up there on the leaderboard. but, yeah, it would be something to have in my career that would be amazing. by the time i'm done, whenever it is, when i'm playing, the open is something i would like. it's amazing, isn't it, for tommy fleetwood, just how much it would mean to win the open. he has history with this course at carnoustie. he holds the course record. with favourable conditions, you would certainly back him when he goes out later. he goes out at ten to four. then there's too leaders, johnson and kisner go out at out at apm. looking fantastic behind you, there. and you yourself, of course! it looks like everton are about to make their biggest signing of the summer. they're close to bringing in the brazilian forward, richarlison, from watford in a deal that could be worth up to £50 million. he's well known to the new everton boss marco silva, who managed him during his stint at watford. there was a thriller, in the t

and then tommy fleetwood on five. —— five.ose is struggling. justin rose will really need to get his game together heading into the end of his second round. we can hearfrom tommy fleetwood now after that impressive round today. it was a very strong round today. it was a very strong round of golf and i hit a lot of good golf shots and probably —6, when you are out there you hit those shots and when you come in, you think, that was really, really good. if you went out you would not really fa ncy if you went out you would not really fancy beating —6 out there so i think that is a good indication of how good it was. yeah, really impressive when you consider that the birdied the last, the 18th which is notoriously difficult here at carnoustie, as kevin kisner hasjust found out. he has found the burden, so his two—shot lead is under threat. i was just watching that thinking, that could be quite crucial. on his final hole and he goesin crucial. on his final hole and he goes in the burn. yes, it is the perils of discourse of! john, we

nations, rory mcilroy, we will start with him, bidding for a first major victory in four years, and tommy fleetwoodboard. tommy they have changed the face of the leaderboa rd. tommy fleetwood, they have changed the face of the leaderboard. tommy fleetwood, top golfer in europe last season, looks more like a rock star than a golfer, he has been delighting people in the galleries there, he has put himself at the top of the leaderboard. rory mcilroy was still driving it, not as much as yesterday, into the long grass, but sinking putts, and he has also put himself in touch with the leaders there. it is not all about the home nations, though, a lot of people are at carnoustie just to see one man — no prizes for guessing who, tiger woods, and what a round for tiger, still out, playing through the rain and the wind. he is, well, getting as many birdies as bogies, unfortunately, but he is still out there and stilljust bogies, unfortunately, but he is still out there and still just about in touch. zachjohnson is the co—leader, we will see him in a second. he won at st andrews a few yea rs second. he won at

birdies in the rain for rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood.rboard at the open on day two is starting to change. some of the big names, expected names, appearing... john watson is there for us. john, some of these big guys now are starting to roll the ball—mac m, —— ball—mac in, starting to look good? yes, let's start with the brits, with the changing conditions, more stick on the fairways and the greens proving more receptive, certainly the case for tommy fleetwood today who moved to 5—under, really impressive road from him, producing three birdies in his front nine and three birdies in his front nine and three in his back nine, in what was a bogey free round frame. tommy fleetwood, the world number ten, who holds the course record at carnoustie. he was delighted, walking away, hiding an impressive score. as did rory mcilroy, one shot further back on ll—under —— carding and address of store. but a bogey at 15 saw him drop a shot further back —— an impressive score. consecutive 69s for rory mcilroy. still out at the moment is tiger woods, who i

tommy fleetwood.mcilroy, it can the second round of 69, four underfor the championship. he is in the hunt will stop but while he wore, tiger started with a whimper. his opening few holes wide of the mark, his ball into the crowd. but back—to—back birdies at four and then five steadied the ship. tiger finishing on even par and headed for the weekend. the world number one dustin johnson will not be there after five over par opening round, a double bogey on the last ended his challenge. sometimes, you just need luck on your side. it hits the wall and comes right back. but of all the early starters, it was zach johnson who made the best of the conditions. the american's six under and in the clubhouse as the leader. but not for long as the rains stopped, he took advantage. at home in the sun, and making it look easy. until the 18th, beaten by and into the water. yum at it was one of the few mistakes he made. a double bogey at the last and becoming a 4—way tie for the lead. perhaps it was not that easy afte

england's tommy fleetwood is currently fifth after shooting the best round of the championship so farust one shot behind him. ? both of them are very close to the joint tournament leaders — as our sports correspondent katherine downes reports. an early start and the rain arrive. for the most dedicated spej afors 5°99y for the most dedicated spej afors soggy shoes and hours spent huddling under a brolly but brave the elms and the rewards were rich. at 7 pope 30 tommy fleetwood took to the course, and shot the best round of the open so far, he finished on five under. had some time on the range last night, and, came out today and hit it better put it in position all day, and holed a few putts, in tough conditions and 65, yeah, it is really good round of golf in the end. a round 20 minutes after he teed off rory mcilroy was under way and on the hunt. rory relirning the damp on the hunt. rory relirning the damp on the grass, while dodging the. dam in the grass, while dodging the. dam in the air. to go four under. —— the damp in the air. meanwhile... tiger was roaring though not necessarily

the open now wide open, this was tommy fleetwood taking a share of the lead.re were plenty on course to wrestle it away again. and now rory mcilroy is having his say. no one has been allowed to feel at home on moving day. adam wilde, bbc news. let's take a look at the leaderboard. jordan spieth out in front, he got his round off superbly then it is rory mcilroy with zach johnson also and that is the name tiger woods at five under. justin rose putting himself into contention with that without listing round of 64 today on four under par. it was really interesting here, hearing the thoughts of tiger woods coming into this open championship. he felt that this open championship. he felt that this was his best chance of winning another major. he has not won a major since the us open in 2008, his last open championship came in 2006, but he has pulled himself into contention in what is going to be a fascinating final day tomorrow. 14 justin rose, should he win here? i am realistic that might be with the margin he has to make up, he could move to world number one, and

is tommy fleetwood. the 27—year—old from southport secured a second place finish at the us open earlier this year. he goes into this tournament off the back of a rapid rise up the world rankings, he's now inside the world's top 10. expectations are wrapped, but i don't feel any different about being up don't feel any different about being up there in the world rankings. it is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. generally, it doesn't matters. generally, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. have england left us anything from the 2018 world cup? hopes, fears. that's all from sportsday. donald trump and vladimir putin have both hailed their helsinki meeting as a success. president putin acknowledged that he had wanted donald trump to win, but denied that he had interfered. resident trump pointedly refused to back repeated allegations by us intelligence that mr putin did interfere. i think that it is a disaster for a country.

not that they affected tommy fleetwood. whatever the weather, the englishman i5 fleetwood. 65 puts him right into contention. when you are out there you hit the shot5, when you are out there you hit the shots, and when you come in you think, yes, that was really, really good. and it will be a tough 5core. if you went out, you wouldn't really fa ncy if you went out, you wouldn't really fancy beating 6—under out there, so i think that is a good indication of how good it was. on the 2014 winter may not be far off either. rory mcilroy, two days, two rounds of 69, and two off the lead. and while there are few players as popular as rory mcilroy, tiger woods is one of them. he had a mixed day, but at even par, will be back for more. them. he had a mixed day, but at even par, will be back for morelj am 5ixpack, and by the day's and i think i will be more than that. it will be a pretty packed leaderboard, andii will be a pretty packed leaderboard, and ham will be a pretty packed leaderboard, and i i am certainly right there in it. his countrymen zach johnson will be as well. he shar

tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy, perhaps still in contention for the home nations.rboard is on the bbc sport website. lewis hamilton will start from 14th on the grid in tomorrow's german grand prix. he tried to push his mercedes back to the pits after breaking down in the first qualifying session. he is eight points behind sebastian vettel, he will be hopeful of increasing the lead as he starts his home race from pole position. world cup fever has returned this weekend as the women's hockey world cup got under way in london. england's bid for glory got off toa london. england's bid for glory got off to a sachet quiche start. they had to battle from 1—0 down that the draw. for england in pool b it is the united states who were beaten by ireland earlier, 3—1. the green army are top of the group for now, which isa are top of the group for now, which is a great start for ireland in their first world cup is a great start for ireland in theirfirst world cup in 16 is a great start for ireland in their first world cup in 16 years. he was happy to settle for second in the 10

tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy four shots behind and tommy fleetwood with a level par 71 yesterday.ounds. tiger woods played brilliantly. every one of his six birdies yesterday greeted with huge cheers as he produced his best round at open championship in seven yea rs, round at open championship in seven years, his round at open championship in seven yea rs, his lowest round at open championship in seven years, his lowest round in a major in seven years with tiger woods up there on the leaderboard with five under yesterday. what can he produce today? he is delighted he put himself in contention at another major. he has not won one for several years following the missed yea rs, several years following the missed years, he missed two years at the open following back surgery. he is delighted to be in contention. i'm right there. i have a chance at this which is great. i have shown that i have been there close enough for the chance to win this year. given what happened the last few years, i did not know that would happen again but here i am with a chance coming on sunday in a major cham

slightly disappointing round of 71 for tommy fleetwood yesterday, he could not follow up his round ofin the alfred dunhill links last year and he can draw upon that as he heads to his final round today, four shots of the leaders and also rory mcilroy, slightly disappointing from him yesterday. four shots off the lead and saying he is desperate to get out today and will be looking forward to getting the driver back in his hand. he said after his round yesterday he wishes he was closer to the leaders but he has won an open championship before. let's not rule him out as he is still in contentious. tiger woods, a name we did not expect to see close to the top. also on five under, when you consider he has been away from the open two years, following the back surgery open two years, following the back surgery but delighted to be back and he felt coming into this the open was his best chance of winning another major. he is delighted to be in contention. i have got a chance, which is great. i have got a chance, which is great. i have shown that i have been there close enough for the chance to

the open now wide open, this was tommy fleetwood taking a share of the lead.here were plenty of course to wrestle it away again. the american pairof wrestle it away again. the american pair of zachjohnson wrestle it away again. the american pair of zach johnson and wrestle it away again. the american pair of zachjohnson and kevin kisner remained amongst the players to catch and with competition is fierce, no one yet seems making themselves at home on moving day. adam wilde, bbc news. young let's take a look at the leaderboard. jordan spieth out in front, he got his round off superbly at the start, eagle in the first, and then kevin kisnerjust one shot behind on eight under and then zach johnson and rory mcilroy a couple shot further back on six under, tommy fleetwood has dropped back to three under but then we can see tiger woods without really impressive round today. you just wonder what he could produce tomorrow. you do wonder. he blew hot and cold, tiger woods, across the first two his round rounds, really got the galleries going. justin rose, who almost ma

england's tommy fleetwood has been on the verge of a major win before.s has won it three times, back from injury and as always, drawing a huge crowd, but it's dangerous to get too close to a misfiring tiger. luckily in this weather, umbrellas make effective protective shields. there are some benefits to a few hours of drizzle in the middle of the scottish summer. in the last few minutes, we have a new leader, 2015 open champion zach johnson going to six under par, overtaking england's tommy fleetwood and overnight leader kevin kisner who is out on the course at the moment, they are both at five under, rory mcilroy just one moment, they are both at five under, rory mcilroyjust one shot back on four under and the weather is expected to change again, the rain moving away with better conditions coming out for the later starters, hoping to make it through the cut and into the weekend. thank you, katherine downes at carnoustie. the youngest spitfire pilot to fight in the battle of britain, geoffrey wellum, has died at the age of 96. squadron leader wellum wasj

tommy fleetwood is another englishman close to the top, on five under, one shot away from the lead. us open this year, he has got his eye on the claretjug. i can't lie about it. if i could pick one tournament in my life to win, it would be the open. i've never been anywhere near before. so far, after two rounds, i'm up there on the leaderboard, but it would be something to have in my career that would be amazing by the time i'm done with... whenever i'm playing... the open is something i would like. tommy fleetwood one of the favourites to win the title at carnoustie this year but let's look at the leaderboard as it stands. the americans out in front. the 2015 open champion jack —— americans out in front. the 2015 open championjack —— zachjohnson at the top and kevin kisner, who threw away a two shot lead last night by hitting his approach shot into the barry burn at the 18th. rory mcilroy is also in the mix on four under par. he is tied with four other players. it is tight at the top of the leaderboard, perfect conditions at carnoustie for links golf. we should see some good scores

britain's tommy fleetwood is one of a number of european golfers looking to break a us stranglehold onhis ranking affect his concentration. the us open runner—up is ranked tenth in the world after a good couple of years, and is on the hunt for a first major title. i don't feel any different about being up there in the world ranking. it isjust... it being up there in the world ranking. it is just... it is what it is. it is nice to have the expectation. it shows you are doing something right. and hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. and generally it doesn't matter where you are in the world. you still have to hit the golf shots when it comes to it and thatis golf shots when it comes to it and that is all that matters. i am not as calm as i look, i don't think. but i am naturally and calmish person, surrounded by friends. and at the end of the day, play good or bad, it is what it is, but i know i have put the work in and that is all it is, just take it from there. world heavyweight champion anthony joshua has announced his next bout. he will figh
