CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) - Kevin Kisner hit his approach shot into the Barry Burn at No. 18 and made double-bogey 6, dropping the American into a share of the lead on 6 under at the British Open.

Kisner shot 1-under 70 to follow his opening round of 66, which gave him the overnight lead. He was tied in the clubhouse with Zach Johnson.

Johnson, the 2015 champion, birdied the tough 18th hole to shoot a 67.

Rory McIlroy is only two strokes back after shooting his second straight 69. Puyallup's Ryan Moore is five shots off the lead after carding a 73. Tigers Woods shot an even-par 71 for the second straight day to leave him six shots back.

A steady rain fell most of the morning, allowing players to be more aggressive off the tee and into the greens. A day earlier the course had played hard and fast at Carnoustie, which has had little rain this summer.
