Brittish Open

The Brittish Open

Day 1

Ernie Else, Rory McIlraoy and Ricky Fowler teeing off as i write this............
 Followed by the current world number one, Luke Donald with playing partners Sergio Garcia and R. Ishikawa

These are my two suggestions to watch for the day as im sure they will produce some fireworks for day one.
Just like Fowler making a 60 footer on the first green to open with a birdie.....

Currently Marc Calcavecchia leading the field at 2 under par and ill be back with the stats and results for the weekends play.....

Leaderboard

So top of the leaderboard after day one is Thomas Bjorn and an amatuer Tom Lewis on 5 under par. If we look back to 2003 we can only remember that Thomas Bjorn was leading by three and then got stuck in a bunker and ended up losing to Ben Curtis...... Thomas got into this weeks tournament as a reserve when Vijay Singh pulled out. So Bjorn feeling lucky to be in and in very good spirits for the week and wanting to get revenge  read more.
 Hopefuly the young Tom Lewis can continue his form from day one as it is always nice for new youngsters to get motivation and inspiration........

A terreble day three for all except Darren Clarke!!!!!

Well done to Darren Clarke on winning the 2011 Brittish Open and getting back in the winners circle
