PGA Tour rookie Cameron Young shot a bogey-free, 8-under-par 64 Thursday to establish the first-round lead at The Open Championship at St. Andrews in Scotland.
Close behind, Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland polished off a 6-under 66 for sole possession of second. Australia’s Cameron Smith was three strokes back at 5-under 67, and Englishman Robert Dinwiddie birdied the 18th hole after 10 p.m. local time to tie Smith for third.
