Danny Willett was the surprise Open leader after the second round, his score of 69 leaving him nine under for the tournament.
Here, we take a closer look at the Sheffield-born player:
Willett turned pro in 2008, having won the English Amateur Championship the year before, and he finished 58th in his first season on the European Tour.
He is currently ranked 39th in the world, a career high for the Yorkshireman.
Like many young promising English golfers, Willett went to university in America, although he left Jacksonville University after two years without a degree.
