To say the leaderboard after 18 holes at Royal Liverpool is surprising might be an understatement. While local lad Tommy Fleetwood certainly has the chops to sit one shot clear of the field at The Open Championship entering Friday's second round, a late charge from Emiliano Grillo and early clubhouse lead taken by amateur Christo Lamprecht are undoubtedly shockers.
Fleetwood and Lamprecht will have to wait until the afternoon in Hoylake, England, as they attempt to build upon their lead fighting firmer conditions that will undoubtedly be less kind than the soft greens of which they took advantage Thursday. The South African amateur will be the first leader out on the course at 7:53 a.m. ET with the Englishamn following him a couple hours later at 9:48 a.m.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be featured alongside Fleetwood for the second straight day. He is sandwiched between the threesomes of Brooks Koepka, Patrick Cantlay and Hideki Matsuyama at 9:37 a.m. before Cameron Smith, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark get to work at 9:59 a.m.
Grillo, meanwhile, will be the man in position to push the pace from the 5-under lead. The Argentine played his final 14 holes in 7 under to jump to the top of the leaderboard alongside Fleetwood and Lamprecht late in Round 1. He begins his second 18 at 3:25 a.m. with Sahith Theegala and Dustin Johnson. Rory McIlroy will hope to make in roads alongside Jon Rahm and Justin Rose at 4:58 a.m. Max Homa eyes his first taste of weekend contention in a major championship after a stellar opening round with Tyrrell Hatton and Collin Morikawa at 5:09 a.m.
