Scottie Scheffler, world number one, leads the Open Championship after two rounds with a stunning 64, his lowest major score. His exceptional putting, a significant improvement from previous performances, is a key factor. He holds a one-stroke lead over Matt Fitzpatrick, with Brian Harman and Haotong Li two shots behind. Scheffler's performance places him in elite company, potentially making him only the fourth player to win a Masters, PGA Championship, and Open before age 30. Several other notable players, including Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, also made the cut.
