Andrew "Beef" Johnston and Darren Clarke were among the big-name players to visit the Open Zone during a wet and windy second round at Royal Birkdale.

Johnston fired the opening tee shot of The Open second round on Friday, before later stopping by to speak to Nick Dougherty about his day and answer questions from the big crowds near the practice tee.

Claude Harmon spent time analysing the swing of the fans' favourite during his second round, as well as taking a closer look at the improvements Ian Poulter has made to his game in recent months.
