Tommy Fleetwood is aware of how well Brian Harman has played through 36 holes of the 151st Open Championship.
“He’s a long way in front,” Fleetwood said. “Of course, there’s a long way to go, but still, for myself and everybody else playing, it’s just do your thing, play one shot at a time.”
That said, Fleetwood can’t complain. He may be five shots back of Harman, the midway leader at Royal Liverpool, but in solo second at 5 under, Fleetwood is also part of Saturday’s final pairing. He and Harman will tee off in Round 3 at XX.
“I’ve put in chases before in the past, and look, at the end of the day if somebody said you’re going out in the last group on Saturday, I don’t care what the situation was or what anybody had shot, I’d have probably taken it,” Fleetwood added. “That’s the way I look at it, and just look forward to playing over the weekend.”
