Expanded Detail

Casey Jarvis, a 23-year-old South African, followed a 66 at Carnoustie with a 67 at Kingsbarns. He made seven birdies and two bogeys, then birdied the last to lead by one. He has already won twice this season and has missed the cut in three of four prior starts in this event.

Rocco Repetto Taylor’s 64 was Friday’s best, lifting him alongside MJ Daffue and Matthew Jordan. All three seek a first DP World Tour win. Daffue, 37, has two HotelPlanner Tour victories this year; Jordan has two runner-up finishes in 2026. MacIntyre and Koepka trail by three.
