Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and South African amateur Christo Lamprecht set the early pace, and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo made a monster putt to claim a share of the first-round lead at The 151st Open Championship on Thursday, July 20, at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England.

At 5–under 66, the trio was one shot ahead of Antoine Rozner of France, Adrian Otaegui of Spain and American Brian Harman, with a pack of big names giving chase at the final major championship of the year.
