Brian Harman, one of the more unlikely leaders entering Moving Day at Royal Liverpool, has one hand on the Claret Jug halfway through the 2023 Open Championship as the action continues on Saturday. Sitting at 10 under and a full five strokes clear of his nearest competitor, first-round leader Tommy Fleetwood, Harman will look to fend off a rabid chasing pack beginning Saturday morning as he seeks the first major of his career and the $3 million winner's purse at The Open.
The English crowd will undoubtedly be cheering for Fleetwood, and the big names in the lead up to the final game will also give them plenty to holler about. Narrowly securing himself a weekend tee time, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler made the cut on the number and will be rewarded with a 4:05 a.m. ET tee time alongside Adam Scott.
Scheffler is not the only premier player off early as Brooks Koepka and Patrick Cantlay will go at 4:15 a.m. with defending champion Cameron Smith playing alongside last year's U.S. Open winner, Matthew Fitzpatrick, at 5:30 a.m.
Rory McIlroy still has an outside chance to collect major No. 5. Only nine players separate McIlroy from Harman, but unfortunately, so do nine strokes. The 34-year-old will begin his march to track down the lefty at 9:30 a.m alongside Max Homa.
