The Open 2021 tee times: Full schedule for Day 2
Louis Oosthuizen takes a one-shot lead over Jordan Spieth into the second round
Louis Oosthuizen takes a one-shot lead into the second round of The Open 2021 after a stunning opening round of 64 at Royal St George’s.
The South African, who lifted the Claret Jug in 2010, has already finished as the runner-up twice in the majors this year and continued his imperious form with a round that did not contain a single bogey.
He is being chased by a packed field, though, which is spearheaded by Jordan Spieth, who sits at five-under-par after his own magnificent start, as well as fellow American Brian Harman. A pack of players, including Mackenzie Hughes, Dylan Frittelli, Stewart Cink, sit at -4 while there is strong English representation just one shot further back at -3, with Justin Rose, Andy Sullivan, Jack Senior and Danny Willett all lurking.
There are plenty of big-name players still in contention, despite somewhat slow starts. Brooks Koepka finished at -1 and remains within reach, as are Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas, although the same cannot be said of recently crowned major champion Phil Mickelson, who struggled badly on the first day and finished with a 75.
