But plenty of star players put together solid enough rounds on Day 1 to give themselves a chance to contend this week, including Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa. McIlroy, the four-time major champ who is representing Ireland, and Morikawa, who recently captured his second major at the Open Championship, both shot two-under 69s on Thursday.

With prime scoring conditions expected to continue in the second round, either player could make a charge up the leaderboard. McIlroy and Morikawa begin Round 2 at 7:25 p.m. ET on Thursday alongside Sungjae Im. Below you will find everything you need to watch the second round.
