British Open Schedule 2015: Friday Tee Times, TV Coverage and Live Stream

The Open Championship began with some pristine conditions, allowing the field to have its way with St. Andrews' Old Course on Thursday. That resulted in Dustin Johnson's tournament-leading 65 and a slew of scores in the red.

Don't expect the same on Friday.

Weather is always a factor in an Open Championship—especially one at St. Andrews due to swirling winds off the North Sea—and the elements will certainly be coming into play in Round 2, as heavy rains and strong winds are expected throughout the day.

Here's a look at the weather report, via a tweet from Sean Martin of PGATour.com:

Terrible conditions early in the day led to a three-and-a-half hour delay on Friday. If you happen to be a late riser, you're in luck, as you haven't missed much Round 2 action. That said, let's take a look at The Open Championship's updated leaderboard, followed by Friday's tee times and essential viewing information.

Storylines to Watch

Can DJ Keep His Momentum Going?

David J. Phillip/Associated Press

We all know Johnson's history in major championships. On several occasions, he put himself in great position out of the gate only to falter later in the tournament. The most recent example came just weeks ago when a three putt on the 72nd hole at Chambers Bay cost him the U.S. Open.

Carrying momentum into the weekend will be key for the world No. 4 as he attempts to get over his major woes. His second-round history of late hasn't been exceedingly impressive, as his 71 in the U.S. Open was his highest number of the week. Even in his WGC-Cadillac Championship victory, he shot sub-70 rounds on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday but posted a 73 on Friday.

That said, Johnson entered The Open Championship tied for 99th on tour with a second-round scoring average of 70.67. Considering the tough weather conditions on Friday at the Old Course, he'll be hard-pressed to maintain his position atop the standings.

Will Spieth Surge to the Top?

Jordan Spieth began his run at claiming The Open Championship and the world's No. 1 ranking with a five-under 67 on Thursday. He got off to a blazing start, making five birdies and four pars for a five-under 31 on the front nine, but he fizzled out on the back side, shooting an even-par 36.

Still, Spieth managed to finish his opening round with a flourish, following up a bogey on the Road Hole with a beautiful downhill putt on the 18th to end his round with a momentum-building birdie. Just two strokes off Johnson's pace, Spieth was asked if he could beat his long-hitting counterpart during a press conference, via Ian O'Connor of ESPN.com.

He replied, "Yeah, I think I can. If I didn't, I would go ahead and walk off and take a flight back home tomorrow. … He's got as much talent or more than anybody. You just have to outplay him."

Spieth has a great chance to find himself atop the leaderboard heading into the weekend. Scoring conditions aren't optimal on Friday, but the 21-year-old phenom has a tendency to remain calm, cool and collected in all situations—a trait that will allow him to weather the storm, so to speak. Ranking first on tour with a second-round scoring average of 68.41 certainly doesn't hurt, either.

Is Tiger Finished as a Major Contender?

David J. Phillip/Associated Press

Tiger Woods was simply awful on Thursday, shooting a four-over 76 on a day in which the field was having its way with the Old Course. He teed off early in the day in favorable conditions that featured low wind speeds, a soft course and mild temperatures, but he couldn't take advantage.

Woods bogeyed his first two holes out of the gate and added two more on the fifth and seventh to make the turn in a four-over 40. He was able to steady himself on the back nine but still only mustered an even-par 36 to reach the clubhouse with a 76.

The former world No. 1 spoke of his struggles during a post-round press conference, via Steve DiMeglio of USA Today:

"

I made so many mistakes. I just didn't play well. It was not ideal. … It was just one of those mixed bags.

… I know that today is a very benign day. Guys are going to go low. Guys have been shooting good numbers. Unfortunately I did not do that. Hopefully the conditions will be tough tomorrow and I can put together a good round and we'll move up the board progressively.

"

Well, unfortunately for Woods, the weather won't be cooperating. He has little chance of scoring a low enough round on Friday to move up the leaderboard far enough to make the cut. If that turns out to be the case, and taking his disastrous showing in the U.S. Open into consideration, Woods will have missed three cuts in his last four major appearances.

His time as a major contender appears to be swiftly coming to an end.
