Broadcasters freak out as bat flies into booth at The Open Championship
While the players at The Open Championship battled in the rain during the second round of the major Friday, the announcers were battling a bat. A bat entered the NBC broadcast tower, and Dan Hicks and Kevin Kisner, the announcers in the booth, had very different, yet hilarious, reactions. As the bat entered the booth, both announcers took cover. But their reactions to the invading bat could not have been more different. Hicks started waving his hands wildly as if trying to scare the bat away. Hicks also laughed at the hysteria while waving his hands as the bat entered the tower. Kisner, on the other hand, slowly sunk into this chair and was nearly out of view of the camera. As he slid down in his seat, he pulled his sports coat off the back of the chair and pulled it over his head to protect himself from the bat. Mike Tirico, who narrated the replay that showed the chaos, ribbed Kisner for his reaction. "Kevin Kisner, this is a man who is a proud hunter. He's under his jacket. He is spooked by this bat," Tirico exclaimed. While Hicks and Kisner may have been bothered by the bat temporarily, they were at least under cover from the rain. Throughout the morning and afternoon, the weather has fluctuated from beautiful at times to downpours. At the time of this writing, Matt Fitzpatrick was leading the major championship at 9-under par.

Matt Fitzpatrick one shot behind Open leader Scottie Scheffler at halfway stage
Matt Fitzpatrick's impressive 66 put him in an excellent position to end a 33-year wait for an English winner of The Open, but he will have to get past the daunting figure of world number one Scottie Scheffler if he is to end the drought. Just minutes after the 2022 US Open champion returned to the top of a major leaderboard, having posted a nine-under-par total at Royal Portrush, his American rival reeled off back-to-back birdies at 16 and 17 to snatch the lead from the Sheffield golfer's grasp. May's US PGA winner looked in ominous form in getting to 10 under – his round of 64 included eight birdies, a missed putt at the last for another and just one bogey – and he looked as unruffled as ever, even as the heaviest rain of the week drenched the links for a good 45 minutes. The last world number one to lead or share the lead after 36 holes of an Open was Tiger Woods in 2006. He went on to win and on this evidence you would not back against the bookies' favourite to claim his first Claret Jug and the third leg of a career Grand Slam. But, if Fitzpatrick can maintain his rediscovered form, he may just have a chance. Starting at four under, as one of the first-day co-leaders, he was the first to reach double figures following four successive birdies, having turned in a two-under 34. His round exploded into life on the back nine and, when he hit a brilliant approach at the short 13th to six feet for a fourth birdie in a row, he was 10 under and two clear. He gave a shot back at the 14th and missed the chance to restore his two-shot cushion with an inexplicable miss from three feet at the 17th but redeemed himself with a superb 23ft par save on the last, only for Scheffler to come charging past him. 'I'm giving myself an opportunity to win the golf tournament, but there's still a hell of a long way to go,' said the 30-year-old Yorkshireman, who will play alongside Scheffler in Saturday's final group. 'Obviously the aim of the game is to stay in it for as long as possible and hopefully you can pull away right at the death. I'm 50 per cent there. 'I wouldn't say I necessarily feel as much pressure (as Scheffler). He's going to have the expectation to go out and dominate. 'He's an exceptional player. He's world number one and we're seeing Tiger-like stuff. I think the pressure is for him to win the golf tournament.'
