Rory McIlroy remains in the mix after a topsy-turvy start to his Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
The pressure got the better of the Northern Irishman the last time the tournament was held in his home country, and the World No2 got off to a slow start with a bogey on his first hole.
But despite battling his driver throughout the round, the 35-year-old signed off for a respectable one-under-par 70 to leave him three shots off the lead.
Matt Fitzpatrick is one of five players in a share of the lead at -4 as the former US Open champion bids to become the first Englishman to win the Open since 1992.
World No1 Scottie Scheffler is finely poised just one shot back from the lead, while Lee Westwood and Justin Rose produced solid opening rounds to leave themselves in contention at -2.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele, still battling his way back from an early-season injury, signed off for an even-par opening round to leave him four back of the lead.
Ahead of the second round, here is everything you need to know, including the tee times, TV schedule, and how to watch and stream in the UK.
