Hatton makes progress and Woods also aims to improve Open prospects

England’s Tyrrell Hatton made an early move up the leaderboard as Tiger Woods tried to bounce back from his worst opening round in the Open on day two at Royal Portrush.

Hatton outscored Woods by 10 shots with a first-round of 68 and picked up birdies on the fifth and sixth on Friday to improve to five under par.

Former champion Jordan Spieth was alongside Hatton after following birdies on the fifth and sixth with an eagle on the par-five seventh, with overnight leader JB Holmes making a birdie on the second to retain top spot.
