Earlier in the day, Ernie Els was tied with Smith and McIlroy for second place. In fourth place, Lee Westwood is in a six-way tie with amateur Barclay Brown, Kurt Kitayama, Brad Kennedy, Victor Hovland and Paul Casey at 4 under. One of the most exciting weeks in golf in recent years is here, with the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews. One of the most exciting weeks in golf in recent years is here, with the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews. Young had eight birdies, with five of those coming on the front nine, and no bogeys to get off to an impressive start at the tournament. Rory McIlroy holds the sole spot in second after birdieing the final hole to shoot a 6-under 66.

That gave him a two-shot lead in the clubhouse from McIlroy, whose 66 included three straight birdies between the fifth and seventh holes. Young, ranked 32nd in ...

All I heard was clapping," said Poulter.Former Open champion Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood are also among the LIV series members at St Andrews. More dropped shots followed at the third and fourth. I think that's important to do," said the 33-year-old, who will not tee off until mid-afternoon on Friday. The LIV model, he said on Wednesday, "is not in the best long-term interests of the sport as a whole and is entirely driven by money". Open organisers the R&A opted not to ban the rebels, in contrast to moves made by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. McIlroy was the favourite for the Claret Jug coming into the week, and the Northern Irishman, who won the Open in 2014, lived up to his billing in the opening round.

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 week which started so well turned sour for Tiger Woods, whose opening-round 78 put him 14 shots adrift of leader Cameron Young, who is three clear of ...

“It didn’t feel too great to be honest because of the bad start,” said Scott, who faces a quick turnaround for his morning tee-time of 8.14am (5.14pm AEST) after taking more than six hours to complete his round. Johnson joined the group on four-under with a birdie at the 18th and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler also finished on that mark in the next three-ball. He made his first move on the second hole, draining a huge putt from the raised part of the green on the second hole. Jason Scrivener had a decent day of it, too, playing in the more difficult afternoon conditions and finishing at level par. Robert Dinwiddie of England joined Smith at five-under as one of the last players to complete his round. I don’t think that I played a perfect round of golf.

He knew how to play it. He's putting a lot of demand on that body. Tiger will be fine physically. I think St Andrews is demanding on the brain.

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.

Live scores, updates and highlights from the second round of the historic 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.

That was actually the first and only major championship at which Young has made a cut (0-4 otherwise), though he's sure to double that up at St. Andrews, whether he goes on to become Champion Golfer of the Year or not. The 25-year-old former Wake Forest golfer has yet to win a tournament on the PGA Tour, but a T3 finish at the PGA Championship a couple months ago raised eyebrows about his long-term potential. The hope entering the 150th Open at St. Andrews was that Tiger Woods would some way, some how play himself into contention in what may be the 15-time major winner's last time playing his favorite course.

Tying the lowest first round ever recorded by a first-timer in The Open, the Wake Forest product will look to finally enter the winner's circle as he has finished runner-up on three different occasions this season. Meanwhile, others such as Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka and Matt Fitzpatrick will be fighting just to make the cut. With a star-studded field playing, the Old Course serving as a historic backdrop and the pressure on given this is the final major of the year, the 150th Open Championship is already shaping up to be one to remember.
