Scottish Open 2022: Cameron Tringale hits course record as Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Thomas toil in the wind

The big names were put in the shade by Cameron Tringale who hit a course-record 61 to take a three-shot lead at the Scottish Open. Those who secured an early tee time at the Renaissance Club had the best of the conditions, with the wind picking up as the day wore on. Ad/> Tringale took advantage of favourable conditions in the morning to equal Bernd Wiesberger‘s course record of 61.

Any spectators who elected to follow Jordan Spieth on Thursday got their money’s worth, as the American had an eventful opening 18 holes. The 2017 Open champion made six birdies, including a run of five in a row from holes 13 to 17, but he also put four bogeys on the card in an opening round of 68.

/> Like Spieth, Jon Rahm carded six birdies but his day was spoiled by a double-bogey on the 18th to sign for a two-under 68. “It was a good round, but the one thing I wish is not have that six,” Rahm told Sky Sports. “If I make a bogey, it is 67.

68 is a good round but that six could have been avoided.” With 14 of the world’s top 15 in action, Rahm is happy with the quality of field. “It is good,” Rahm said. “I think everybody is happy to be here.

You have a lot more US players, and it is good to see them.” /> World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has work to do on Friday after carding a three-over 73, while Viktor Hovland had a day to forget as he hit a shank and a duff on the same hole in a round of 74. Gary Woodland chipped in on the 18th to help him into second place at six-under.
