What can Brown do for you?
For those looking for big news 2024 British OpenDaniel Brown, a 29-year-old British golfer, won on Thursday after a lackluster recent tournament performance. Brown took the lead from Shane Lowry. He made a birdie putt on the 18th hole to take sole possession of first place going into the second round.
Brown was decisive, planned and perhaps even precise all afternoon on the later holes, wasting no time and sinking a birdie putt that perhaps signaled to the other players he was in the right frame of mind for the rest of the tournament.
Heading into round two, Brown will need to keep his luck at bay against Lowry, and he says he might need to make sure his family and friends don’t get too excited.

On the par-four second hole, his driver landed in the rough and 117 yards from the hole, and his second shot landed in the semi-rough, leaving him with a seven-foot putt to save par and make it.

After more than 20 minutes, he drops and hits it just short of the green. He then two-putts for a double bogey, retiring him from the lead with Daniel Brown.
Patrick Cantlay moves up the rankings

Tiger Woods stumbles at start to second round
