Here’s Haotong Li’s shot on the first:

STENSON – THE BOSS

Henrik is looking quite smart in his BOSS waterproofs. The Ryder Cup captain always dresses well. I attended the BOSS golf day in the build up to The Open.. It was a crazy affair with something like 50 influencers (which I am not by the way) descending on the Old Course. There was one chap in a string vest doing somersaults on the 1st tee.. Bonkers. We played team Stableford with best two of four scores on each hole to count… My team featured no influencers but two nice guys who work for The R&A (and are excellent golfers) and a Danish journalist who was handy too. We played pretty well and posted 82 points. We thought that might have a little chance… We thought wrong. One team (of influencers) managed? to score 118 points. There were more than a few raised eyebrows at the prizegiving but they weren’t bothered – they celebrated as if they’d won the world cup… As I said… Crazy stuff! I heard a rumour that one of them faked having a hole-in-one on the 8th, just for the photo opportunity!

Talor has just rolled one in on the 1st to get to -5…

Speaking of looking foolish Russell Henley regatta very nearly hit it OB on the first, he hit a slinging hook in the style of Ian Baker Finch and was only saved by a very fortunate bounce on an upslope that slowed it down.

PIN AT 1

It really is only just on the green over the Swilcan burn. I think there’ll be a few more in the wet stuff by the end of the day.

FIRST MOVER

Si Woo Kim has just birdied the first to move into the top five on -4. He holed out from the Road Hole bunker yesterday… He could have a…
