Major debutant Daniel Brown holds a shock lead after day one of The Open, where Shane Lowry made a fast start and Rory McIlroy suffered a setback at Royal Troon.
Major debutant Daniel Brown topped the leaderboard after an eventful opening round at The 152nd Open, as Shane Lowry made a fast start and Rory McIlroy’s hopes suffered a setback at Royal Troon. Lowry - who lifted the Claret Jug in 2019 - carded the lowest round of his major career after a five-under 66, with the fast start also his first bogey-free round at The Open since day three of his major success at Royal Portrush.
I love that place and I love this tournament.' Lowry's closest challenge came from Brown, playing in the penultimate group, who charged up the leaderboard after carding a front-nine 34 and then adding successive birdies from the tenth to get within one of the lead.
