Senior's Open Round 1

By the sounds of things everybody’s favourite Shark (except Jaws obviously) had a mare yesterday in the first round of the Seniors Open at Royal Troon.

"Things just weren't going my way early on," Norman said. "I just had to hang in there and guts it out the best I could. The ball just wasn't rolling my way. There's more than one round in a golf tournament. I got to the first tee and I never played this golf course in this wind before. I didn't feel that confident with some of the tee shots and I hit it into a couple of divot holes, which didn't make me feel good on the first few holes."
Bruce Vaughan and Eduardo Romero are top of the tree after the first round after shooting a three under par 68.

He joined Vaughan at the top of the leaderboard after the American shot eight birdies as well as a double and treble bogey in his incredible round.
Defending champion Tom Watson is just two strokes behind after a birdie on the 16th hole in a flawless round of 70 but pre-tournament favourite Norman could not carry his momentum from last week’s remarkable display at The Open Championship, finishing with a four over par 75.

GOLFPUNK Against the World Sam Torrance remains in striking distance, kind of, after an opening round two over 73. Go on Sam I’ve got a score on you to win the thing.
