TROON, Scotland — Dan Brown had another good day at Royal Troon. The Englishman's 1-over 72 on Friday was enough to stay in the mix at the halfway point of the British Open. He was in a tie for second, two shots behind leader Shane Lowry. Brown couldn't emulate his opening 65, which added him to a long list of surprise first-round leaders at the Open like Christo Lamprecht, Tom Lewis and Hennie Otto. But Friday's workmanlike shift left him at 5 under overall and showed he can stick around.
