Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays a shot off the 4th tee during the first day of the British Open Golf championship at the Royal Liverpool golf club, Hoylake, England, Thursday July 17, 2014.

Round two of the 143rd British Open golf tournament starts at 1:25 a.m. Eastern time Friday (in the US) from the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England.

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy is the leader after the first round after shooting a six-under par 66. The former US Open and PGA champion is playing  with Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, who's at 3 under 69, and American Jordan Spieth. They will get started at 9:27 a.m. Friday.

Thursday was a banner day for Italy at the British Open. Matteo Manassero shot a five-under 67, good enough for second place. He will tee off at 8:05 a.m.

Meanwhile, the Molinari brothers, Edoardo and Francesco, both fired four-under par 68s Thursday. Edoardo gets started in Round Two at 7:21 a.m. Friday; Francesco will tee off Friday at 7:54 a.m.

Another golfer who's two shots off the pace is Spain's Sergio Garcia. He's paired with American Rickie Fowler, who shot a three-under par 69 Thursday, and Englishman Luke Donald. Garcia, who won the 1988 British Amateur, came closest to winning the Open in 2007. Donald has recorded a pair of fifth-place finishes, the most recent two years ago. This group will tee off at 8:38 a.m.

Three-time former Open champion Tiger Woods enjoyed a good first round. He also shot a three-under 69. Tiger is paired with Angel Cabrera and Henrik Stenson. This group will tee off at 9:05 a.m. Eastern.

Three other golfers – Jim Furyk and Brooks Koepka of the US and former Masters champ Adam Scott of Australia – are also at four under par. Scott tees off Friday at 4:26 a.m. Eastern. Koepka will join Edoardo Molinari at 7:21 a.m. and Furyk goes at 8:27 a.m.

Defending champion Phil Mickelson shot a two-over par 74 Thursday. He, along with South Africa's Ernie Els and Masters champ Bubba Watson, tee off at 4:04 a.m. Eastern.

You can watch the British Open on ESPN, beginning at 4 a.m. Eastern Friday.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
