British Open golf 2022

The 150th British Open is under way at the Home of Golf, the Old Course at St. Andrews. Follow here all day for updates.

Rory McIlroy is the betting favorite as he tries to end an eight-year major drought, though +1000 seems like a short number with such a stacked field. He gave a shot back at the 8th. His best finish in the Open is second in 2008, four shots behind winner Padraig Harrington. Xander Schauffele, a winner in his last two starts on the PGA Tour, is the second favorite at +1400. Here's a quick look at the favorites and notables, according to the SI Sportsbook: Here are some other notable groups (all times eastern): The 2012 U.S. Open champion finished T19 at last year's British Open and his best finish in the championship is a T12 in 2018.

Shockingly, what Tony Finau is wearing is not the talk of Open Championship Thursday.

In fairness, Tiger Woods made the T-shirt famous, disguising it as a "mock" turtleneck. Normally, on a major championship Thursday, any and all fashion discussions start and end with whatever Nike decided to dress Tony Finau in. Ross Parker - SNS Group

Tiger Woods is back at a major championship, vying for his fourth British Open title and third at St. Andrews, the “home of golf.” Follow along for live ...

Follow along for live updates on Woods’s first round and all the other happenings at St. Andrews. He began his first round on Thursday with a double bogey after hitting his second shot into the Swilcan Burn, the course’s famous stream, and then missing a short bogey putt. Woods has had a quiet year inside the ropes as he’s made his way back from a devastating car crash in February 2021.

The 2013 Open champion opened with 72 on Thursday at a place he loves, and also said he 'couldn't be happier' with his LIV Golf decision despite the ...

I get to have golf in my life and competitive golf in my life on a scale that is fun, exciting, different, and lets me play and compete but still do the things outside that I want to do. “I made the right decision for me. As for Woods’ pointed criticism of LIV on Tuesday, Mickelson said “I certainly respect his opinion. I think I'm going to play really well the next few days. As great as this game has been to me, to be able to come here to the home (of golf) and compete again — I think this is my sixth one here. It just doesn't. I let a few strokes slide today, but for the most part, I actually feel pretty good with parts, but I've just got to bring them together to make the whole. Just the greatness of it kind of shines. It was really special to play here in all the different conditions. Same for Greg Norman, the two-time Open champion and CEO of LIV Golf who was not invited to the festivities. I don't know if you guys remember the Dunhill Cup, but I ended up being a part of the winning Dunhill Cup in '96 with Steve Stricker and Mark O'Meara. And we had all these rounds and different weather conditions. “We decided that we didn't want the distraction. We both kind of agreed that it would be best if I didn't.’’

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — To a man, the players are stoked to be here. The 150th Open Championship, at the Old Course, the Home of Golf? It's storybook stuff.

Yeah, I guess we are used to waiting. "I've been doing this long enough to deal with days like today," Lowry said. Yeah, it was … I felt like everything was like choppy, and it wasn't easy to get into a rhythm. Fortunately, honestly, we all talked a lot, talked to [caddie] Joe [Greiner] a lot. "I felt like I needed to call my PT back and get him to stretch me back out. "I thought we handled those holes fairly well, considering the long wait there. "It's just a joke, isn't it?" The reason behind the slowness is endemic to the Old Course, especially when it's firm. You stay in the fairway, and you’re watching two other groups play golf." ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — To a man, the players are stoked to be here. Their first prolonged wait came on the par-5 fifth tee, when the threesome ahead (Jason Kokrak, Nicolai Hojgaard and Sihwan Kim) was still waiting to hit their tee shots as McIlroy, Schauffele and Morikawa finished out on 4. "We were waiting on groups at tees, waiting on fairways.

Day 1 at the 150th Open proved as eventful as anticipated. Here are the things that caught our eye during the first round at St. Andrews.

That was particularly the case through 15 holes, when Els sat a four under for his round and inside the top five on the leaderboard. And while Slumbers was diplomatic when asked if it was his worst nightmare if a LIV player won on Sunday, you get the impression it will be an awkward situation if it were to happen. Perhaps then we shouldn’t have been surprised to see 53-year-old Ernie Els appear on the leaderboard early Thursday at the Old Course. Playing in the Open for the 31st time, the 2002 and 2012 winner was wondering if competing in 2022 might have some special magical symmetry to it. Yet it very well might happen judging from the number of LIV-affiliated players on the leaderboard at day's end Thursday. Three players—Dustin Johnson, Talor Gooch and Lee Westwood—finished with 68s (Westwood despite a double bogey on his second hole) to leave themselves in a tie for fourth place. So whatever happens this week for Matt Fitzpatrick, it’s going to be hard to forget the glow of his U.S. Open triumph at Brookline. Even so, you have to think the Englishman was hoping for more than an even-par 72 in the first round at St. Andrews. It wasn’t like Fitzpatrick hit the ball poorly, but he struggled rolling in any meaningful putts. There were more to come, along with a couple doubles and a frustrating par on the 18th after his drive flirted with the green only to roll back into the Valley of Sin. It all added up to a disappointing 78. Then on the par-4 12th, Hovland attempted to drive the green but found the bunker just short of the putting surface. In between, as you might imagine, there was plenty that went on, with low scores to be had on a relatively tranquil day at the Old Course. And plenty of surprises to be found as well, including nine we felt stood out the most. If Viktor Hovland wins on Sunday, he won’t be able to say the same. On the par-5 14th, he had 30 feet for eagle and settled for par. And on the par-4 16th a six-footer for birdie was also squandered. And in watching him practice, you held out hope that he'd somehow find something to cling to and be able to put on a little bit of a show come Thursday. After all, conditions at St. Andrews seemed to be on the side of the golfer still recovering from his horrific car crash.

The top of 150th Open Championship leaderboard is stacked, but you'll find Tiger's name at the other end.

Making the cut will be a difficult task as a round in the mid 60s will be required, but all eyes will remain on Woods. Spieth has the creativity and skill to succeed at St. Andrews, and he will have every opportunity to prove that across his second round. "I did everything that you're supposed to do around St Andrews. I birdied the holes that are birdieable, and I made pars at the holes where you're sort of looking to make a par and move to the next tee. I think I'm going to play really well the next few days." While that means his greatest asset -- his driver -- is taken out of his hands, he will be more than fine with that if the results materialize as they did in Round 1. Instead of letting it bother me too much, and then I try to go for a stupid shot to gain back what I lost." He carried this prowess into the opening round, and it is now time to see if he can replicate it over the next 54 holes. And I think with the humps and hollows, it becomes quite unpredictable and just something that I've learned over the years." He is long and straight off the tee and credits getting over to Scotland a week early as a reason for his success in the first round. I'm happy that, as far as I know, I'm still leading The Open Championship, but it's not going to change how I feel an hour from now. I mean, it might change how I feel on the 1st tee a little bit tomorrow, but I'll forget about it very quickly." The PGA Tour rookie has been tremendous this season, finishing runner-up three times and in a tie for third at the PGA Championship, yet he came into this week having missed his last two cuts.

The snail's pace was due to low wind and fast fairways that had players capable of driving many of the greens at the par 4s.

So I think, especially the first two days when it’s the full field, it’s to be expected. “It was just an insane amount of waiting.” “I think St. Andrews is that way,” he said. “Wait on the tee for a while and then they said we were going to hit up on them, and they let us drive, so, we hit our drive,” Homa said. The way the golf course is designed. “It’s the way the golf course is set up.

The first grouping opened the tournament at 1:35 a.m. ET, and plenty of stars have gotten off to hot starts early, including Rory McIlroy, which you can read all about below. 9:44 a.m. ET: We are fifteen minutes away from our featured group with Matthew Fitzpatrick, Max Homa, and Tiger Woods. Tiger played in the JP McManus Pro-Am ten days ago, but didn’t compete since the Masters before that. He’ll have 113 yards to the pin, but it looks like he rolled into a divot. A light draw with his driving iron sets him up perfectly at the first. In the early-going of Thursday’s opening round, pre-tournament favorite Rory McIlroy quickly showed that people were right to trust him with their money, as he went low across the first nine holes. 2022 Open Championship Live Blog: Follow Tiger Woods’ first round at St. Andrews

The historic 150th British Open had been circled on Tiger's calendar for months, but an opening-hole double bogey led to a disappointing day at the Old ...

And that's my responsibility tomorrow is to go ahead and do it. Woods ball landed short of the water and trickled in. And I hit a good shot. As for the opening-hole double bogey, Woods said: “Hit a good tee shot down 1, ended up right in the middle of a fresh divot. Woods made two double bogeys during his round along with five bogeys and three birdies. “Looks like I'm going to have to shoot 66 tomorrow to have a chance (to make the 36-hole cut, which is top 70 players and ties)," he said. But I didn't really feel like I hit it that bad but I ended up in bad spots. And as I said, I had my chances to turn it around and get it rolling the right way and I didn't do it." They looked faster than what they were putting, and I struggled with it." “It’s just a different dynamic than we were accustomed to," he said. It feels like I didn't really hit it that bad. But the beginning certainly did not help.

And that's my responsibility tomorrow is to go ahead and do it. This, of course, is just Woods’ third tournament of 2022 and his third since the single-car accident that nearly cost him his leg. He three-putted the fourth hole, the 11th, the 13th and failed to two-putt from the Valley of Sin just short of the 18th green. It was a struggle for the healthy 26-year-olds; for a 46-year-old with a fused back and significant hardware holding his right leg together, being on your feet for that long is a worst-case scenario. "They were fantastic,” Woods said of the fans. They looked faster than what they were putting, and I struggled with it.” “Yeah, it was a lot easier today, physically, than it has been the other two events, for sure,” he said. He had walked 58 holes at St. Andrews by Tuesday at noon and arrived at the course a full 80 minutes before his tee time on Thursday. A stripey range session, coupled with a baked-out golf course that would reward guile and precision over power, brought a healthy dose of optimism that Woods could contend. It started promisingly enough, with Woods flushing a long iron into the center of the expansive first fairway—only for his ball to rest in a fresh, sandy divot. And as I said, I had my chances to turn it around and get it rolling the right way and I didn't do it.” But I didn't really feel like I hit it that bad, but I ended up in bad spots. “It feels like I didn't really hit it that bad,” Woods said.

Live scores, updates and highlights from the second round of the historic 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.

That was actually the first and only major championship at which Young has made a cut (0-4 otherwise), though he's sure to double that up at St. Andrews, whether he goes on to become Champion Golfer of the Year or not. The 25-year-old former Wake Forest golfer has yet to win a tournament on the PGA Tour, but a T3 finish at the PGA Championship a couple months ago raised eyebrows about his long-term potential. The hope entering the 150th Open at St. Andrews was that Tiger Woods would some way, some how play himself into contention in what may be the 15-time major winner's last time playing his favorite course.

With a star-studded field playing, the Old Course serving as a historic backdrop and the pressure on given this is the final major of the year, the 150th Open Championship is already shaping up to be one to remember.
