Despite a pair of early bogeys, Zach Johnson is still in the lead at the British Open, but he has company at the top.

Zach Johnson has run into some trouble early in his second round, but is still at the top of the leaderboard. Johnson is 4-under for the tournament, good enough for a share of the lead.

After beginning his round with a bogey, Johnson appeared to settle in with two pars and a birdie on his next three holes. However, like he did at the first hole, Johnson hit his tee shot into the rough on No. 5 and it cost him. After posting an eagle on No. 5 on Thursday, Johnson bogeyed the hole Friday.

As he seems to be at every major championship, Angel Cabrera is in contention. Cabrera birdied No. 1 to move to 1-under on the round and another birdie at No. 5 moved him into a share of the lead. Cabrera finished with six birdies on Thursday and could potentially post a low number if he’s able to avoid bogeys. He’s done well so far with three pars and two birdies.

Bubba Watson has been up-and-down all day. After three birdies, two bogeys and four pars on the front nine, Watson made the turn at 1-under on the day and was tied for fifth place. He didn’t stay in the red for long as a double bogey on No. 10 dropped him to even overall. Phil Mickelson’s second round has been eventful. He got off to a rough start with a three-putt double bogey on No. 2. Mickelson got one back on No. 4, but a bogey on the sixth moved him back to even-par for the tournament.

Only 11 players are currently under par, with the projected cut line rising to 6-over. Here is a quick snapshot of the current leaderboard.
