Just Stop Oil protestors have set off an orange flare next to the 17th green during the second round of The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool.
R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers said ahead of the tournament that they had received no intelligence surrounding any potential protest, although “significant” security procedures were in place to reduce the risk.
