What you missed at The OpenWhat you missed at The Open

Conditions were tough for the early tee times, facing the wind and rain synonymous with The Open, before softening a bit as the second wave started the day. Royal Birkdale is showing its teeth on the front-9 with holes No. 1 and No. 6 playing close to a half-shot over par each. Stuart Manley, playing in his first Open, finished eagle-birdie to wrap up his day with a two-under 68. Three birdies on the front helped Ian Poulter go out in 32 as he looks to continue his good play as of late. Jordan Spieth carded three birdies on the front as well en route to an opening-9 31. Justin Rose and defending champ Henrik Stenson also opened in red figures on the front. Zach Johnson, Jason Day and Sergio Garcia tee off at 8:04 a.m. ET followed by Rickie Fowler, Adam Scott and Paul Casey at 8:26 a.m. ET. Phil Mickelson tees off with Marc Leishman and Francesco Molinari at 10:10 a.m. ET. – Tee Times – Leaderboard
