Padraig Harrington is on 1-under after also making a positive start to his second round, while Graeme McDowell is on level par.
Later this evening, Shane Lowry will be looking to keep himself in contention when he resumes from 7-under par after yesterday’s round of 65.
But world number one Jason Day is still the man they’re all trying to catch – he’ll resume from 9-under later this evening.
