It's the second day of live coverage from The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale and a resurgent Lee Westwood, who finished third behind Tiger Woods at last month's US Open, will be looking to continue his rich vein of form.
Another British contender, Justin Rose, will also have cause for optimism after his sensational performance as an amateur the last time the Open was held at Royal Birkdale in 1998. In the second round that year, 17-year-old Rose carded a 66, matching the lowest-ever score for an Open round by an amateur. He went on to tie for fourth place.
Live coverage of day two of the Open is also available on BBCi.

Chief conductor Jiři Bělohlávek
gets the BBC Proms under way A host of international soloists join the BBC Symphony Orchestra and its chief conductor, Jiři Bělohlávek, as the 114th season of BBC Proms gets under way.
Introduced by Charles Hazlewood and Suzy Klein, live from London's Royal Albert Hall, the first Prom features soprano Christine Brewer singing Strauss's Four Last Songs; pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard playing Beethoven's Rondo in B flat major; Nicholas Daniel performing Mozart's Oboe Concerto; and organist Wayne Marshall launching proceedings on the Royal Albert Hall's historic organ with Strauss's Festliches Präludium. The concert ends with Scriabin's powerful Poem of Ecstasy.
For the first time, the BBC Two Proms are presented from a specially built studio within the Royal Albert Hall building, where Charles and Suzy are joined by guests and artists to discuss the concert, signalling the start of new-look Saturday night BBC Two broadcasts throughout the season (starting on 26 July). The studio will have a large screen showing preparations within the auditorium, as well as specially pre-recorded films and live down-the-line interviews with artists backstage.
During the interval on the First Night, Charles and Suzy are joined in the studio by, among others, Karita Mattila, as she comes off stage after her performance. They are also joined by new Proms director Roger Wright, who discusses his vision for his first season.
