Open Championship

Seamus Power -1 (5) · Rory McIlroy (9.58am) · Shane Lowry (10.09am) · Darren Clarke (1.37pm) · Pádraig Harrington (2.48pm).

The Scot sits on +2. - 10:59 - 11:00 as the ball inevitably rolls into the back bunker. Lowry's playing partner Hovland is in the same bunker but has a nightmare lie. The Norwegian has played a beauty from the back of the green.

The anticipation for the 150th Open Championship has been literally years in the making, the R&A returning to the Old Course at St. Andrews and sparing no ...

4:39 a.m.: Is three holes too early into a round to proclaim a #59Watch? OK, it is, but J.T. Poston, who got into the field at the Open off his win last week at the John Deere Classic, is three under through three holes after a trio of birdies. 6:26 a.m.: If you're name is Cameron, you're more than likely picking the Old Course apart on Thursday. Cameron Young is the solo leader, and he just gave himself a great look at birdie at the par-3 11th. 4:57 a.m.: And we have our first player to four under—Min Woo Lee—after making a eagle on the par-5 14th hole. 6:00 a.m.: Brown, the Stanford junior from England, joins Kim, Cam Smith, and Young at the top of the leaderboard. 7:22 a.m.: Cameron Young is still your leader at seven under, but the buzz is beginning to build in the Rory McIlroy group. 6:52 a.m.: We were sort of kidding about the Vince Carter "it's over" GIF, but another birdie for Cameron Young at the 12th has made things get a little real. 7:47 a.m.: McIlroy fails to birdie the gettable ninth hole and he remains at four under, three off Young's lead. 7:51 a.m.: Strong finish from Bryson DeChambeau, who drove it short of the 18th green, putted it up to about 13 feet past the hole and poured in the left-to-right birdie putt. Cam Young, who has the round of the day so far, must've been holding his breath as his tee shot on the iconic 17th hole at the Old Course kept moving more and more right. Cameron Smith just drove the 18th green and has a long look at eagle, while back at the ninth, Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland both make birdie to reach two under. He grabs the (very early) clubhouse lead with a strong 5-under 67 to open his Open Championship. What an amazing debut at the Old Course in The Open ... the extremely talented 25-year-old made that look easy.

The Sporting News is following Tiger as he makes his way through the legendary Old Course at St. Andrews. Follow along with us.

Tiger Woods' opening round at the Open Championship got off to a disastrous start as he double bogeyed the 1st hole.

With a wedge in his hands, Woods blasted his ball out of the divot on his approach shot, sending sand flying into his eyes. When Woods tapped in the ensuing putt, the scoreboard reflected a sobering reality. After dropping short of the hazard and pitching his fourth shot to three feet, he left himself with just over three feet for bogey. The announcers made note of a slight smirk on Woods’ face as he approached and saw where his ball had ended up. Woods tipped his cap as the crowd exploded in applause. If Woods was going to win a major in 2022, the Old Course would almost certainly be the venue.

Young posted a stunning, bogey-free 8-under 64 to take the solo lead, going 5 under across the front and 3 under on the back.

"Xander and I talked about it. Scheffler tried to explain just how fast the links were playing by suggesting the ball was rolling faster on the fairways than on the greens. "It's the way the golf course is set up. He has had one of the better rookie seasons on the PGA Tour, and the 25-year-old New Yorker is not the least bit daunted by the stage. McIlroy looked free as ever at St. Andrews, his first time back for the Open since 2010. Young played smartly and took advantage of the birdie chances. Defending champion Collin Morikawa struggled with his putting and had a 72. "The way the golf course is designed ... to get better angles and better lines, you've got to hit across all the fairways. Just two months ago, he contended into the final hour of the PGA Championship until finishing one shot out of a playoff. "It's the fiddliest Open that I've played. "OK, the 18th at Carnoustie was like a runway, that fairway. Young and McIlroy didn't have to contend with as much wind in the morning, though St. Andrews has seen far stronger gusts over its centuries of golf.

“Other times a good shot can be to 40 feet and you have to get down in two which I failed to do on 17 today. But Power failed to take advantage of the chances offered and then paid a high price for any mistakes. “The bunker is like three yards by four yards and it’s anywhere but there,” Power said. And then I had a couple of three-putts from long long distance. “I didn’t play those particularly well. “But that happens sometimes.

Day 1 at the 150th Open proved as eventful as anticipated. Here are the things that caught our eye during the first round at St. Andrews.

That was particularly the case through 15 holes, when Els sat a four under for his round and inside the top five on the leaderboard. And while Slumbers was diplomatic when asked if it was his worst nightmare if a LIV player won on Sunday, you get the impression it will be an awkward situation if it were to happen. Perhaps then we shouldn’t have been surprised to see 53-year-old Ernie Els appear on the leaderboard early Thursday at the Old Course. Playing in the Open for the 31st time, the 2002 and 2012 winner was wondering if competing in 2022 might have some special magical symmetry to it. Yet it very well might happen judging from the number of LIV-affiliated players on the leaderboard at day's end Thursday. Three players—Dustin Johnson, Talor Gooch and Lee Westwood—finished with 68s (Westwood despite a double bogey on his second hole) to leave themselves in a tie for fourth place. So whatever happens this week for Matt Fitzpatrick, it’s going to be hard to forget the glow of his U.S. Open triumph at Brookline. Even so, you have to think the Englishman was hoping for more than an even-par 72 in the first round at St. Andrews. It wasn’t like Fitzpatrick hit the ball poorly, but he struggled rolling in any meaningful putts. There were more to come, along with a couple doubles and a frustrating par on the 18th after his drive flirted with the green only to roll back into the Valley of Sin. It all added up to a disappointing 78. Then on the par-4 12th, Hovland attempted to drive the green but found the bunker just short of the putting surface. In between, as you might imagine, there was plenty that went on, with low scores to be had on a relatively tranquil day at the Old Course. And plenty of surprises to be found as well, including nine we felt stood out the most. If Viktor Hovland wins on Sunday, he won’t be able to say the same. On the par-5 14th, he had 30 feet for eagle and settled for par. And on the par-4 16th a six-footer for birdie was also squandered. And in watching him practice, you held out hope that he'd somehow find something to cling to and be able to put on a little bit of a show come Thursday. After all, conditions at St. Andrews seemed to be on the side of the golfer still recovering from his horrific car crash.

Cameron Young leads the field after a blistering debut first round at the 150th Open Championship in St. Andrews, Scotland on Thursday.

I had my chances to turn it around and get it rolling the right way and I didn't do it." By his own recent high standards, Fitzpatrick also endured a difficult evening, bogeying three times to finish even for the opening day. Later, one of his stray drives fractured the hand of a PGA Tour employee, who returned to the course in a sling. I just needed to take ownership of it again," he added. After teeing off at 2:59 p.m. local time, Woods and his two playing partners -- compatriot Max Homa and newly crowned US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick -- did not finish their round until just over six hours later. Everything feels like it's in good shape ... nice and quiet, which is a nice way to be. "Everything feels very settled," McIlroy told reporters." Crowds flocked to follow his round and roared each of his three birdies as if he was once again contending at the top of the leaderboard yet, as Woods recognized Wednesday, this is his new "difficult" reality. "I might struggle tomorrow. But I think it's just important for me to take tomorrow as it comes and do what I can." Barring a "too cute" second shot that led to his sole bogey of the round at the 13th, the four-time major winner was content with a good day's work. I might shoot 64 again.

The top of 150th Open Championship leaderboard is stacked, but you'll find Tiger's name at the other end.

Making the cut will be a difficult task as a round in the mid 60s will be required, but all eyes will remain on Woods. Spieth has the creativity and skill to succeed at St. Andrews, and he will have every opportunity to prove that across his second round. "I did everything that you're supposed to do around St Andrews. I birdied the holes that are birdieable, and I made pars at the holes where you're sort of looking to make a par and move to the next tee. I think I'm going to play really well the next few days." While that means his greatest asset -- his driver -- is taken out of his hands, he will be more than fine with that if the results materialize as they did in Round 1. Instead of letting it bother me too much, and then I try to go for a stupid shot to gain back what I lost." He carried this prowess into the opening round, and it is now time to see if he can replicate it over the next 54 holes. And I think with the humps and hollows, it becomes quite unpredictable and just something that I've learned over the years." He is long and straight off the tee and credits getting over to Scotland a week early as a reason for his success in the first round. I'm happy that, as far as I know, I'm still leading The Open Championship, but it's not going to change how I feel an hour from now. I mean, it might change how I feel on the 1st tee a little bit tomorrow, but I'll forget about it very quickly." The PGA Tour rookie has been tremendous this season, finishing runner-up three times and in a tie for third at the PGA Championship, yet he came into this week having missed his last two cuts.

A long, windy and fast day at St. Andrews has recalibrated expectations entering the final 54 holes at the Old Course.

This was not a young Cat, pacing up and down the side of the sea, readying for the kill. 9. Tiger at sunset: Walking the final three holes with Tiger Woods on Thursday -- as the sun bowed below the Old -- was quite an experience. Irishman Paul Dunne led after 54 holes in 2015, and American Jordan Nieburgge went on to finish in the top 10 that same year. Some of that was because the Old baked as the day advanced, and some of it was because the wind whipped late and it was legitimately cold by the time the last group was finishing. "I think the media are stoking it up and doing as much as they can to aid that," he said. "I think the general public just want to go out there and see good golf no matter where it's being played or who's playing it." "It's the way the golf course is set up. 3. Wave on wave: The Old Course played harder and harder and harder as Thursday wore on. "I don't know [if experience in contending at the PGA Championship helps]," said Young. "I think any time you're around the lead in a major championship or any PGA Tour event, frankly, you get more and more comfortable every time. Scheffler to be feared at the top of the leaderboard. That changes with a win at St. Andrews given Scheffler would join Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods as the only golfers with five wins including the Masters and The Open in the same year. The big-bopping former Wake Forest Demon Deacon contended at this year's PGA Championship and has been one of the best neophytes on the PGA Tour all season.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — To a man, the players are stoked to be here. The 150th Open Championship, at the Old Course, the Home of Golf? It's storybook stuff.

Yeah, I guess we are used to waiting. "I've been doing this long enough to deal with days like today," Lowry said. Yeah, it was … I felt like everything was like choppy, and it wasn't easy to get into a rhythm. Fortunately, honestly, we all talked a lot, talked to [caddie] Joe [Greiner] a lot. "I felt like I needed to call my PT back and get him to stretch me back out. "I thought we handled those holes fairly well, considering the long wait there. "It's just a joke, isn't it?" The reason behind the slowness is endemic to the Old Course, especially when it's firm. You stay in the fairway, and you’re watching two other groups play golf." ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — To a man, the players are stoked to be here. Their first prolonged wait came on the par-5 fifth tee, when the threesome ahead (Jason Kokrak, Nicolai Hojgaard and Sihwan Kim) was still waiting to hit their tee shots as McIlroy, Schauffele and Morikawa finished out on 4. "We were waiting on groups at tees, waiting on fairways.

The 150th Open Championship from St Andrews continues with Day 2 action , with Rory McIlroy just 2 shots off the lead and Tiger Woods out in the morning ...

To day two of The 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. I'm Fergus Bisset and I'll be taking you through the first couple of hours of the action. A westerly to start with and maybe a spot of rain, the wind switching to a northerly later in the day. I got it up in the wind a bit from about 50 yards and it too fell in the water. Ryan Fox has just got one to back up on the 2nd... Yesterday I said I'd never seen it before when Kurt Kitayama bounced it off the railway sleepers on the edge of the Swilcan Burn and it came straight back towards him... It really is only just on the green over the Swilcan burn. It's just the way it is on The Old Course because of the crossovers and the fact players are often hitting onto adjacent fairways. He needed to get it over a large mound to reach the pin... I heard a rumour that one of them faked having a hole-in-one on the 8th, just for the photo opportunity! I attended the BOSS golf day in the build up to The Open.. It was a crazy affair with something like 50 influencers (which I am not by the way) descending on the Old Course. There was one chap in a string vest doing somersaults on the 1st tee.. I once played with a chap who thinned his drive along the ground, it hit into one of the forward tee markers, pinged back over our heads and out of bounds.. It's day two of The 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. Cameron Young of the USA leads the way after round one following a superb 64.
