The 2010 Open Championship winner Louis Oosthuizen (129) recorded the lowest 36-hole score in The Open Championship history and the second-lowest in major championship history and leads by two strokes going into the weekend at Royal St. George’s.

Two of the five 36-hole scores of 131 or better in tournament history have come this week (129) by Oosthuizen, (131) by Collin Morikawa)

All five of Oosthuizen’s 36-hole leads/co-leads on the PGA Tour have either come in majors or THE PLAYERS Championship. He is 1-for-4 to date.

Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm, who have combined to win 11 majors since the start of the 2015 season, all enter the third round within six strokes of the lead.
