American Justin Thomason a morning day of British Open in Royal Throne that we can say he lived through two of the four seasons of the year: autumn and winter (the tournament is played in summer) he posted a result of 68 strokes, three under par, at the home-club, to temporarily lead the 152nd edition of golf’s oldest Grand Slam.
Two late birdies (on 17 and 18) after playing a first round in which he reached -4 after the 11th hole gave him a brief lead in The Open, played in its early hours with a cold, rain and wind. Thomas is playing his eighth British with a tied 11th (2019) best result.
Three players finished with 69 strokes: the Englishman Justin Rose, one of the Danish Hojgaard twins, Nicolai, and the Swede Alex Noren. At 70 the Australian Adam Scott. The seven Spaniards are in the field or have not yet started their tour.
The fact is that in this British beginning there are many bogeys (and higher) for everyone, to a greater or lesser extent. Of the victims, although there is still a hole left to recover, two of the candidates for the pitcher, Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy (double bogey on the emblematic hole, the Postage Stamp, par 3), with a +3 after 9 holes, and last month’s US Open winner Bryson DeChambeauwith +6 after 12.
