He opened the week with a 3-over 74 on Thursday, and then posted a 70 on Friday to narrowly make the cut. As Rahm entered the clubhouse, Harman and Tommy Fleetwood were getting their days started. Harman, despite making two bogeys in his first four holes, carded a 2-under 69 and maintained his five-shot lead over the rest of the field. While Rahm's round didn't completely close the gap, he certainly took full advantage of Moving Day in the final major championship of the year.

Rahm has a ways to go, and likely needs a bit of help, but he's now in a position to grab his third major title come Sunday. There's nothing to be done. Feel like I've done a lot of good work the past few weeks, and I've done a lot of good work this week, as well, and I've done what I've needed, which is give myself an opportunity.

The last amateur to be in first place after the opening round of an Open was Tom Lewis, who shared the lead with Thomas Bjorn at Royal St. So, did it all come as a surprise to Lamprecht, a hard-to-miss player who was certainly turning heads at Hoylake. This month, he won the British Amateur at Hillside, a course an hour up the coast along the Irish Sea, to qualify for the Open for the first time.

Lamprecht went out in the eighth group of the day and made three birdies in a four-hole stretch from No. He chipped in from 40 yards for birdie at No. He gave one back at No. Lamprecht said his stock drive goes about yards and that he can get to a yard carry, the kind of length that was impressing another big hitter, Bryson DeChambeau, on the range this week. Lamprecht was taking plenty off his drives in his first round, he said, because of the roll on the fairways on a beautiful morning at Hoylake.

Oosthuizen was impressed with what he saw from Lamprecht, especially his composure in the glare of being the Open leader for much of the round. It also shines a positive light on his foundation. His father was 6-foot-4 and the shortest of the last five generations, with his great grandfather about 7-foot. For all the concern over the new par-3 17th at Royal Liverpool, the real headache was No.

The two-time major champion drove out-of-bounds and later sent his ball from one greenside bunker to another, before blasting out through the green and winding up making nine for an over 82 — his highest round in a major. He was coming off his first — and only — birdie of the round and drove it well enough on the 18th that he could go for the green. Kho left his first shot in the bunker left of the green.

And then another. He finally blasted out sideways into high grass, only for his next shot to go back into the same bunker. Kho blasted that one out sideways toward the native grass. His eighth shot found the green, and he two-putted from 10 feet. The 18th was where Rickie Fowler ruined his good round with a triple bogey, giving him a Ryan Fox ended his round of 78 with a triple, too, the same score at the hole made by Phil Mickelson and Jorge Campillo.

In when the Open was last staged at Royal Liverpool, there were 26 scores of double or worse over four rounds. In the first round alone this year, there were The hole is playing 50 yards longer — at — this time and the out-of-bounds marker has been moved about 20 yards closer to the fairway.

A white line runs virtually the length of the fairway, bringing OB into play for the first and second shots, then around and along the right of the fairway on No. Out-of-bounds is also a factor on No. Inside the white lines are hospitality areas and merchandise tents at this British Open. Typically, that piece of land is used by the club as a practice range. Many will have a different view after what transpired in the first round.

The bunkers proved almost as penal as the OB. He currently is No. He is No. The cutoff is the second FedEx Cup playoff event. Or the fact he only has two top finishes in his 23 previous times playing the British Open. One of those, of course, was a victory at Turnberry in That has not been forgotten by Cink, who played bogey-free Thursday for a 3-under 68 that left him two shots behind the leaders.

Golf has been trending younger than ever, especially in the majors. And there was the matter of his lone major, not so much that he won, but whom he beat in a playoff — Tom Watson, who was 59 at Turnberry. Thursday was a day for scoring, and Cink did his part by avoiding the troublesome bunkers at Royal Liverpool except for one, and that time the ball was in the middle and left him a reasonable shot to get out.

At his side was his wife, Lisa, a cancer survivor who is caddying for him this week. Cink said she is as much a therapist as a caddie, maybe not the best in helping decide whether a shot should be a 4-iron or a 5-iron but able to keep his head in the right place. I want to get myself in the mix to have a chance to win on the last round, last nine holes.
