A stellar field is bidding for the Claret Jug, but Tiger Woods faces a mountain to climb to make the cut after a poor opening day. In stark contrast, Rory McIlroy is well placed following an opening round of 66.
Light rain greeted the early starters as day two of the 150th Open Championship got under way at St Andrews.
Tiger Woods endured a miserable return to the Open Championship as the three-time champion laboured to a six-over-par 78 at St Andrews on Thursday to leave his chances of making the cut looking slim.
World number two Rory McIlroy admits he cannot afford to let a promising start to the 150th Open Championship go to waste.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — The Old Course was never faster. The pace of play was never slower.
ST ANDREWS, Scotland: Tiger Woods made a dismal start to his British Open bid as he carded two early double-bogeys on the way to a six-over-par 78 that left him 14 shots behind the leader on Thursday.
Rory McIlroy celebrated making a fantastic start to the "fiddliest" Open of his career as his delayed return to St Andrews proved well worth the wait. America's Cameron Young held the lead thanks to firing eight birdies in a flawless 64, a score only McIlroy himself has beaten in the opening round of an Open Championship on the Old Course. McIlroy's 63 came back in 2010 and was followed by an 80 in terrible weather, while an ankle injury suffered playing football prevented him from bidding to retain the Claret Jug at the same venue in 2015. The four-time major winner admitted this week therefore felt like the title defence he never had and he enjoyed an ideal start, holing from 55 feet for birdie on the first and making seven in total in his 66, the same score he shot to begin his wire-to-wire victory at Hoylake.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Tiger Woods was on the wrong side of the draw — and often the wrong side of the holes — during the first round of the 150th Open Championship on the Old Course at St. Andrews on Thursday.
