Open 2026: Suber Leads as Clarke Birdies

Jackson Suber extended his lead to -6 at The Open 2026 with a birdie at the second hole, while 2011 champion Darren Clarke started his round with a birdie.

Suber, the tournament leader, recovered from a drive into the rough to wedge to 12 feet and sink his birdie putt. Meanwhile, Clarke began his second round with a birdie to move to +2. The 2011 champion shares the record for most Open appearances before a first victory with 19, a feat also achieved by Phil Mickelson and Nick Price. afsport.lat

Englishman Laurie Canter nearly aced the fourth hole, with his tee shot stopping just short of the pin. The 36-year-old is currently at -2 as play continues at Royal Birkdale.
