Former Ryder Cup captains Darren Clarke and Padraig Harrington both made strong starts at the Senior Open, as Stephen Ames and Glen Day set the pace in Scotland.

Ames carded an eagle and four birdies in a bogey-free 64 at Gleneagles, later matched by Day after a final-hole eagle, giving the pair a one-shot advantage over the group on five under containing Clarke and 2016 champion Paul Broadhurst.

Clarke birdied three of his last five holes to card a five-under 65, while Broadhurst recovered from playing his opening five holes in three over to post an eagle and six birdies to get within one of the lead.

Jerry Kelly birdied his last five holes and Kent Jones made a bogey-free start to complete the quartet tied-second, with Harrington two off the pace alongside the likes of Ernie Els and Thongchai Jaidee after an opening-round 66. "I'm happy with the score," Harrington said. "I putted well and my putter saved me most of the day, but I was just tentative with my iron shots particularly."
