Richie Ramsay and David Drysdale will be the only Scots to play the weekend at this year's Open at Royal Birkdale after both made the cut.

Ramsay is three shots behind the leading pack of Jordan Speith and Brooks Koepka, who sit at five under, with the afternoon session still to finish at this year's major.

Drysdale just made it to the weekend after his five over score was enough to make to the last two rounds of the tournament.

All other Scottish golfers missed the cut which was at five over, with Russell Knox closest to making the weekend, finishing seven over.

Paul Lawrie will not be making it to the weekend after carding a round of nine over par to finish nine over overall for the tournament.

It was also a disappointing afternoon for amateur Connor Syme. After a promising first round, the 22-year-old carded a round of six over par on Friday to finish with a score of nine over for the tournament.

Veteran Sandy Lyle is currently also expected to miss the cut, with the 59-year-old currently sitting at 12 over through ten holes.
