The best British Open scores on Friday are likely to come from the early wave of tee times.
The official weather forecast for the event states that the wind gusts will pick up to as high as 32 miles per hour by Friday afternoon.
Weather was on the side of the golfers in Friday's early tee times near the conclusion of Thursday's first round.
The winds died down and allowed the likes of Shane Lowry, Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth to post some favorable scores.
Lowry, the 2019 Open champion, and surprise first-round leader Daniel Brown could extend their advantages before Justin Thomas, Alex Noren and others take the course in the afternoon.
