Former champion Paul Lawrie isn't the only Scot with an eye on winning a British Open on home turf.
Marc Warren, a journeyman who has made only one cut in two previous Opens, moved into contention Friday with a string of early birdies on an Old Course that once again was there for the taking.
Warren made three birdies in a four-hole stretch beginning at No. 4 to get to 7 under on the front nine, after opening with a 68.
