PORTRUSH: Unheralded American J.B. Holmes will take a one-shot lead into the second round of the 148th British Open with a host of big names looking to make a move, while Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods face a fight to avoid missing the cut.Advertisement- England's Fleetwood heads into the second round just two shots off the lead as he looks to mount a serious challenge at the British Open for the first time.
"Every time I come over here I'm excited to play. You know you're going to deal with difficult conditions, and that's what I like," said the PGA Championship winner. His playing partners, 2010 champion Oosthuizen and India's Sharma, are both one-under and well-placed.- Home favourite McIlroy faces a mountainous task if he is to just make the cut after a disastrous first-round 79, which started with a quadruple bogey and ended with a triple. The four-time major champion has form around Portrush, though, having famously fired a course-record 61 at the age of just 16 in 2005.
"I definitely think if I can put the ball in the fairway tomorrow I can shoot a good enough score to be around for the weekend," he said.
