Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) misses the cut at the 154th Open Championship 2026 (Royal Birkdale, after Round 2, July 18, 2026)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 17. July 2026 · Predicted for 18. July 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
63%

McIlroy shot 72 (+2) in Round 1 and sits T-114, eight shots off leader Jackson Suber (–5). Projected cut is +1; he must shoot at least 70 in R2. He ranked 155th out of 156 in Strokes Gained: Putting (six bogeys, repeated three-putt errors). Aggregate bookmaker odds imply ~55–60% for a McIlroy cut miss. Without a massive putting turnaround, advancing is unlikely.

Lucas Herbert (Australia) is tied or sole among the top 3 on the 154th Open Championship leaderboard after Round 3 (Royal Birkdale, July 18, 2026)

Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns share the lead after Round 2 (July 17, 2026) at -9 under par — both shot a 62 on the same day, equaling the course record at Birkdale. Cameron Young follows at -7, Jackson Suber at -6. With a two-shot lead over Young and a larger gap to the broader field, Herbert is in a strong position for Round 3. Bookmakers imply Herbert as a co-favorite for the overall win. However, Major leaderboards are volatile, and Burns as co-leader plus a potentially charging Young could put Herbert under pressure. No specific prediction market data available for top-3-after-R3.
