Chris Wood stood in the middle of Royal Birkdale's 18th fairway on Friday thinking he needed a birdie to play the weekend at The Open.

Wood went one better with his approach shot at the home hole, finishing his round in style by holing out from the fairway - the first eagle of the week at No. 18.

The shot moved the Englishman to 3-over par for the tournament.
