0727: Ross Fisher, one under at the start of play, pings his three iron comfortably onto the fairway – he again is paired with Mike Weir and Ben Curtis, and this threesome were the lowest-scoring group of Thursday after Weir ended three under and Curtis five under. The Canadian and American follow Fisher’s lead and a fair few folks will be following this group today, for sure.0722: Ever wondered what it’s like to cover an event like the Open Check out our sport editor’s blog with Philip Bernie, who admits"the Open is one of the most complicated outside broadcasts we do at the BBC",and you also have your chance to have your say.From Anon via text on 81111: "Re: 0647 – Here’s something to tell the grandchildren – it didn’t used to be unusual to see Tom Watson at five under after the first round of the Open." 0717: Nice reception for three-time Open champion Nick Faldo as he gets his round going with a tee shot straight down the middle of the fairway at the first.From GDW via text on 81111: "Sam, looking at the leaderboard, who is Kuboya and where did he appear from with -5 Did he play in the dark All the women in my life still asleep. Magic." From Chris in Norfolk via text on 81111: "You’re right Sam, I am wiping the sleep from my eyes. Although I’m now on my way for 36 holes on my day off! Good stuff."0706: The weather might not be as sedate as yesterday, but that is not stopping the birdies roll in this morning. Ireland’s David Higgins and Welshman Rhys Davies both pick up a shot at the opening hole, as does James Driscoll. However, Damien McGrane, Daniel Gaunt, Matt Kuchar and"jobbing builder"Jeremy Kavanagh have all dropped a shot – as if anybody needed reminding that this Turnberry course can bite you on the backside if you take liberties.0701: I can also report, via Twitter, that Ian Poulter did not hit "one shot I was happy with","drama queen"Colin Montgomerie refused to give interviews, and Paul Casey finished his day with a "fantastic banoffee pie", recommended to him by Colombian Camillo Villegas. Any of you lot on Twitter I must say I’ve joined, but find updating strangers on the banality of my life rather pointless and depressing. Perhaps I’m not embracing it enough!0659: A quick summation ofyesterday’s playfor those that missed it, then. Five-time Open champion Tom Watson fired a sensational 65 and looked like being the oldest leader of this Championship after the first round ever at the age of 59 for much of the day until Miguel Angel Jimenez sunk a 65-footer at the last to complete a 64. Elsewhere, 2003 champion Ben Curtis and Japan’s Kenichi Kuboya – the latter courtesy of three birdies and an eagle in his final four holes – sit alongside Watson, with Lee Westwood, Paul Casey, Anthony Wall, Graeme McDowell and David Howell leading the British challenge on two under.BBC Sport’s Ken Brown on Twitter: "If Thursday is anything to go by, the most difficult hole on the course is the par four 16th, with the easiest being the par five 7th. Watch out for those holes today."0651: A steady enough start for the opening group of the day, with Damien McGrane and Matt Kuchar bagging pars at the first and Tim Stewart taking a birdie three.0647: Oh and, forgive me, I forgot to remind you to get involved via your mobile telephone devices using the SMS function to 81111. I realise that at this hour you’re possibly wiping the sleep out of your eyes, your children’s porridge off your tie and the smell of the bus or train out of your hair, but why not brighten your Friday morning by getting published on the BBC Sport website. It’ll be something to tell the grandchildren, right0642: A few players to keep an eye on before our TV coverage kicks off on BBC Two, the Red Button and this website (UK users only) at 0900 BST – Sandy Lyle will take time out fromhis spat with Colin Montgomerieto get his second round going at 0703, Open legend Nick Faldo is off at 0714, Ben Curtis, alongside English hope Ross Fisher, is the first of those at the top of the leaderboard to get started at 0725 and all eyes will also be on Rory McIlroy’s group, which includes Retief Goosen and Anthony Kim, when they tee off at 0820. And that’s just a sample. What a field this is.

0631: Ireland’s Damien McGrane, American Matt Kuchar and Tim Stewart of Australia get the second round under way – and let me tell you, the bright, windless conditions of yesterday are long gone already. The rain has stopped momentarily, but it’s going to get worse apparently. Expect plenty of glances skyward today.BBC Five Live’s Jay Townsend on Twitter: "It is a rainy morning here at the Open, doing the Breakfast show and then out with Padraig Harrington this morning. Waterproofs are a MUST today."0625: "The lady was defenceless, but she’s going to bare her teeth." That was the assessment oflong-time first-round leader Tom Watsonon this Turnberry course on Thursday, and it makes you think ‘how many players are going to rue not taking advantage of conditions more benign than a kitten wrapped in cotton wool in that first round’Miguel Angel Jimenez leads the Open,a lot of the pre-tournament favourites are yet to make their move, and the weather is forecast to turn more uncomfortable than a dinner for two between Monty and Sandy – a truly fascinating day’s play in round two lay in store…
