TROON, Scotland — We knew what Justin Thomas knew, which was that the toss was coming. He was four under through 11, which was good for a two-shot lead that didn’t mean much this early in the first round of the British Open. Royal Troon’s outward nine holes are a Clysdale ride on a beach, gentle and graceful and smooth, even when the wind departs from its prevailing direction and into the face like it was Thursday morning. But at the turn, the horse becomes a bull and does everything in its power to buck the jockey from the saddle, and here was Thomas, holding on for dear life as gorse and heather began swallowing his drives. For posterity, he did stumble, taking a double at the 12th and a bogey at the 13th, and another wayward drive at the 15th threatened to take him off the Open leaderboard.

Tiger Woods will return for next year’s Open at Royal Portrush despite equalling his worst number of shots for two rounds at a major. Woods, who is still struggling with fitness issues after almost losing his right leg in a car crash in 2021, added a 77 to his first-round 79 at Troon and the 36-hole sum of 156 equalled what he shot in the 2015 US Open.

TROON, Scotland (AP) — Shane Lowry was a surprising model of calm amid all the calamity in the British Open on Friday. Lowry was not immune from the endless punishment Royal Troon dished out on a day when Tiger Woods missed another cut, along with nine of the top 20 players in the world — including Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg and Bryson DeChambeau.

TROON, Scotland — In Greg Norman’s words, it’s nice to be back at the British Open, and it’s even nicer to be back at Royal Troon. “In 1989, I birdied the first six holes of the final round, shot 64, then birdied the first two holes of the [four-hole aggregate playoff] and still didn’t win; I’m still trying to figure this place out,” Norman told Golf Digest as he watched the action at Troon on Saturday with an official R&A guest badge.
