It’s just under 90 minutes since 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie – using a yellow ball! – hit the opening tee shot of this 150th Open Championship.
Very few birdies so far with the pins tucked away although Lawrie’s playing partner, 2012 US Open champion Webb Simpson, has managed red numbers at 1 and 5 and leads at -2. Lawrie got tangled up in rough at the 4th to slip to +3 but has bounced back with a birdie at the 5th.
