The 2019 Open champion signed for 66 to move to -4 for the tournament overall, having gained signed off for a poor 72 and 73 on days 1 and 2.

The Northern Irishman opened with a bogey-free 64 on Thursday, but endured a nightmare start to his second round, carding three bogeys in his first four holes.

A FORMER Championship manager has swapped wingers for wings – by taking a job at Bristol Airport.
And fans could barely believe their eyes as he opted for a high-viz instead of a high line.

He has taken on a new job helping those with mobility difficulties at Bristol Airporthttps://x.com/MEK230402
Ex-Swindon and Notts County chief Luke Williams was Swansea boss from January 2024 until his sacking in February 2025.
The London-born gaffer, 44, was placed on gardening leave.
But despite no doubt receiving a pay-off from the Welsh club when axed four months ago, he was keen to do something worthwhile during his time out of the game.
So much so that as he awaits a new stint in a dugout, kind-hearted Williams has undertaken a gig helping disabled and limited-mobility passengers around the Bristol Airport terminal, as reported by The Athletic.
He started the job two weeks ago.
And it did not take long for a photo of him at his new workplace to go viral.
The snap showed humble Williams wearing his yellow reflective vest uniform and lanyard coming out of the lift in Bristol.
An X user wrote: “Luke Williams gone from managing the Swans to working in Bristol Airport, someone check VAR.”

One replied: “He’s just doing this because he’s bored, he genuinely doesn’t care about others’ opinions and you have to respect it.”
Another commented: “Fair play to the guy.”
A third joked: “Managing in the top flight.”
A fourth added: “Cardiff City fan here with nothing but respect for this. Call me woke if you want. (*best believe I’ll turn up in full bluebirds kit when I fly out next week)”
And a final person typed: “Clearly has a massive work ethic. Good luck to him!”
Williams told The Guardian in 2024 that he places a strong emphasis on commitment and dedication, declaring: “In my opinion, motivation in life is everything.”
He also revealed how he loaded lorries for BHS and drove minibuses to and from nightclubs and airports to fund his early coaching career.
In those days, he collected £1.50 for every player who attended his sessions.
Williams also applied for an electrician course when he left his coaching role with Swansea under Russell Martin in 2022.

AN Irish national has been arrested after Portuguese cops and military swooped on a yacht carrying more than 1.5 tonnes of cocaine.
Two Danish men were also arrested after 1,660 kilos of the drug with a potential street value of around €110 million were discovered on the 11-metre vessel.
All three are languishing in Ponta Delgada’s Sao Miguel Prison, in the Azores, after being remanded behind bars by a judge following their first court appearance on Friday.
Portuguese police also confirmed that their Spanish counterparts had held the suspected leader of the criminal gang in a “parallel” operation thought to have taken place on the Costa del Sol.
A Taser gun and €63,000 in cash were seized following the arrest.
The man’s nationality has not been officially revealed but he is believed to be Danish.
The operation that led to the high-seas cocaine bust was codenamed Operation Vikings.
In an official statement, a spokesman for Portugal’s Policia Judiciaria (PJ) police force described the three men held off the Azores as “foreigners”, but a well-placed source confirmed they included an Irish national.
The PJ also said Irish authorities had assisted them.
In the lengthy statement, the Portuguese police force said: “With the support of the Portuguese Navy, we launched an operation to combat international drug trafficking by sea.
“A sailing boat around 11 metres long was intercepted off the western group of the Azores archipelago as it crossed the Atlantic Ocean between South America and Europe with around 1,660 kg of cocaine on board.
“Operation Vikings is the result of a complex investigation that has taken place over the last two years, aimed at dismantling an international criminal organisation with transcontinental operations specialising in bringing large quantities of cocaine to the European continent and using our country as a platform to this end.
“Due to poor safety and seaworthiness conditions the three crew members of the sailboat, who have since been arrested by the PJ, were taken along with the narcotics to a ship belonging to the Portuguese Navy which deployed a wide range of resources involving more than 50 military personnel.”

LOVE Island viewers believe they have worked out Harry’s ‘real plan’ after he snogged Yasmin three times behind Helena’s back.
Helena was fuming to learn what had happened during last night’s challenge, and wasted no time calling it quits with the footballer.

Shutterstock EditorialHe has also been cracking on with Shakira again[/caption]
But now fans of the show reckon that Harry didn’t lock lips with Yasmin because he wants to be with the brunette bombshell, but more because he wanted Helena to end their coupling as he has his sights set on Shakira.
Speaking on reddit, one show devotee wrote: “Let’s be honest, Harry never got over what he thought about Helena’s lifestyle. Instead of ending it directly he wanted her to do it because he wanted to save face when he realised she heard what he said.
They continued: “Let me be frank, When a boy thinks that about any girl they are never going to take them seriously. That is why he started messing around with Yasmin while still coupled up with Helena.”
And the theorist added that they believe he is playing the game to eventually work his way back to Shakira.
They said: “Now that Shakira’s in the picture, he’s made it obvious that she’s his priority but she was in the situation with Ben. Yasmin’s basically been sidelined, and it’s clear she was just a backup plan to keep him in the villa.
“If Helena’s lifestyle was an issue for him, Yasmin’s boldness probably is too, he just hasn’t vocalised it. He’s playing the long game and was using people to buy time to get onto Shakira or the next bombshell.”
There certainly appeared to be something in this fan’s intuition after Harry’s behaviour in last night’s episode.
After his kisses with Yasmin were exposed, Helena ended things and he wasn’t seen talking to Yasmin again.
He did, however, make a beeline for Shakira, who called time on her time with Ben last night.
“I wanted to see how you were feeling because I think initially you were number one for me and I kind of f***ed it,” he said.
“It’s not even like the pickle I have got in with Helena. I just don’t think I would do the things I do if it was you because I know you wouldn’t stand for it,
Shakira then replied: “It was you and it still is you but it’s your behaviour for me that I can’t tolerate.
“Obviously it’s not with me, which is fair, but if you ever did treat me like that, it would just be a f****** waste of time because I would never stand for it, ever.”
Harry went on to say: “It would be different if we were coupled up and I was getting to know people, I wouldnt have done it.

“I have got away with so much with Helena already, I can just keep getting away with it, kind of thing.”
In the same reddit post, other fans agreed he likes Shakira but warned he will have eyes for lots of the Casa Amor beauties.
One said: “Please, he’ll be cracking on in Casa Amor. He likes Shakira for sure but not enough to stop him being a bit of a man s**g lol.”
A second agreed, chiming in: “If he’s like this now I can’t imagine casa.”
Meanwhile a third weighed in, with more words of warning for Shakira.
“He wants Shakira, but he only wants her because she’s the one who pied him at the beginning and he wants to prove he can get her,” they said.
“If she thinks he will treat her differently, she is in for a shock.”

TOTTENHAM reportedly launched an enquiry for Antoine Semenyo before immediately halting their pursuit of the Bournemouth star.
New Spurs boss Thomas Frank is eager to add a dazzling attacker to his forward line this summer.
GettyTottenham made an enquiry for Antoine Semenyo before immediately ending their interest[/caption]
And Semenyo, 25, emerged as a target after Tottenham also put Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo on their shortlist.
The Bees’ French forward netted 20 Premier League goals last term.
But despite the opportunity to reunite with Frank in north London, Mbeumo reportedly favours a £60m move to Manchester United.
Semenyo then became the clear alternative after also proving himself to be a goal menace when cutting inside on his left foot.
The Athletic claims Tottenham even went so far as to contact Bournemouth over a move for their Ghanaian winger, who netted 13 goals and bagged seven assists in 42 games this term.
However, the Cherries have already seen their squad ravaged by big sides this summer.
Dean Huijsen joined Real Madrid for £50million last month, while fellow defender Illya Zabarnyi could be off to Paris Saint-Germain for around £60m.
Milos Kerkez has also agreed a £40m switch to Premier League champs Liverpool.

And with forwards always carrying a premium, it’s claimed that Bournemouth told Tottenham to pay £70m for Semenyo.
The mind-blowing fee was immediately rebuffed Spurs, who have decided to not pursue a deal for now.
They will continue to scour the market for a new right-sided forward at a better price.
But should Tottenham fail to secure an alternative, they could come back for Semenyo later in the transfer window.
The former Bristol City and Sunderland man still has four years to run on his Cherries contract.
And Semenyo is also on the shortlist at Man United, who could move should they end up losing Mbeumo to Spurs.
