Rico Hoey leads at the Barracuda as Séamus Power misses the cut
The event uses the Modified Stableford scoring system, with players receiving two points for a birdie, five for an eagle and eight for an albatross, and deducted one point for a bogey and three for a double.
Manilla-born Hoey stands at 26 points overall after a second round that contained a six birdies and a bogey.

American Max McGreevy and Erik van Rooyen share second, a point further back.
The cut mark was +11 and Seamus Power was a point the wrong side.
A double-bogey six on his first hole proved costly, as did bogeys on 10 and 18. He did, however, post four birdies on the back nine but agonisingly just missed out at this PGA-DP World Tour co-sanctioned event.

Royal Portrush seals its long-term place on Open roster
The mini-bus had just pulled away from the course on Saturday evening when an American voice summed up her group's day. 'Glad to have seen and done that,' she said, 'but golf really is a TV sport.' The visitors from across The Pond had come to a realization that millions before her had landed on down the years, but the demand for up close and personal experiences when it comes to the game's world-class players remains stratospheric. Somewhere in the region of 280,000 people walked the ground of the Dunluce Course, queued for the hangar-sized merchandise store, and ate and drank from the dozens of concession stands over the span of seven days. It's a record crowd for a Championship outside of St Andrews and that alone explains why the tournament was back in Antrim after just six years and why R&A chief executive Mark Darbon predicted it would again for years to come. Money talks. The course stood up too, even in weekend conditions that were far kinder than predicted, thanks to a track that Jon Rahm among others described as hard but fair. Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau's 64s were the lowest totals all week. 'It was amazing,' said the American Chris Gotterup who finished third a week after his win in Scotland. 'I was saying all week I felt like here they have a really good understanding of what's going on and the golf that's being played.'

Rory McIlroy sums up Scottie Scheffler's brilliance after dominant win at The Open
Rory McIlroy expressed his admiration for Scottie Scheffler after the world number one denied him the chance of an emotional win in his home Open with a runaway victory at Royal Portrush. The Northern Irishman began the day six off the lead and he probably knew it was a bridge too far to reel in the in-form American, who had already won the US PGA this year to add to his two Masters titles. It would have required a fast start and shooting something close to the 61 McIlroy shot on this course as a 16-year-old – virtually impossible in a major setting. 'I wish I had have been closer to Scottie going into today and been able to make a real push but he's been on a different level all week and he's been on a different level for the last two years to the rest of us,' he said after his rival won the third leg of the career Grand Slam which McIlroy completed at Augusta in April. 'None of us could live with what he had this week. He is the bar that we're all trying to get to at this point, so hats off to him. 'I think all you can do is admire what he does and how he does it. I think what he does is one thing, but how he does it is another. 'He just goes about his business, doesn't do anything overly flamboyant, but he's the best at executing in the game right now. 'In a historical context, you could argue that there's only maybe two or three players in the history of the game that have been on a run, the one that Scottie's been on here for the last 24 to 36 months. Incredibly impressive. 'He's been absolutely amazing over these past two to three years. He's an unbelievable player, an incredible champion and a great person too.' After missing the cut six years ago when The Open returned to Portrush, McIlroy was determined to make it up to the thousands of fans willing him on this week. But he had too much to do on the last day and a two-under-par 34, including three birdies and a bogey, on the easier front nine, was just not enough. He was still six shots back at the turn but a double-bogey at the 10th, where he mis-hit a chip, represented the end of his challenge despite two more birdies coming home to finish seventh on 10 under, seven behind Scheffler. 'I felt like I did well. Eight, nine and and 10 were the ones that killed me – not that I was ever going to get to 17-under I don't think,' he added. 'I could have maybe finished second, which would have been better than where I did finish, but only making par off those tee shots on eight and nine and then the double off of 10 after the flier did me in. 'Then I just tried to play a good back nine and finish as well as I could.'

Masterful Scottie Scheffler wins The Open at Portrush
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER HAS been crowned the Open champion after finishing on 17-under par at Portrush. The world number one claimed his fourth Major as he carded three-under for his final round, and that was enough to ensure he finished four shots clear of his nearest challenger. Fellow American Harris English was outright second on 13-under while Rory McIlroy was one of players tied for seventh on 10-under. More to follow… Advertisement
