The Open Championship, or British Open, has one of the larger fields of golf’s four major championships. The top 70 players and ties move on after Round 2 on Friday to play for golf’s oldest trophy, the claret jug.

Royal Troon Golf Club – the site of this year’s British Open – has a record of higher cut lines. The cut was 4-over in 2016, 3-over in 2004, and 5-over in 1997. The last five British Open championships have averaged a cut between 1- and 2-over.

That wasn’t the case this year. By the end of Round 2, the cut line was 6-over. The field of 70 players and ties is now set. Here’s who will be playing on through the weekend – and notable players who are out.
