The 153rd Open Championship started on Thursday (Jul 17) at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland with Jacob Skov Olesen, Haotong Li and Matt Fitzpatrick sharing the lead after Round 1. All three players finished with four-under par 67 on the first day of the year's last major. Olesen was the first to reach at the top with four birdies and an eagle. He would have been the sole leader if not for his second bogey at the 18th hole. Li was first to tie with Olesen after his bogey-free opening round. Fitzpatrick, however, reached for the top with a sensational chip-birdie at the 16th hole - also called Calamity Corner. Have a look at the shot below:
World number 1 Scottie Scheffler is right behind the top three with three-under par 68 after the first round. He shares the second position five other players including British Jordan Matthew.
