HTML0 Justin Thomas is off to a fantastic start to the second straight week in Scotland even the British Open score does not look like it. He started the first round in the morning with a 3 under 68, which set a new goal, and he was satisfied.

Do not forget that the player played just one couple of weeks ago competing at the Scottish Open. Royal Troon required the greatest effort, and with only a little rain and plenty of wind, the links along the Ayrshire coast were capable of crushing players with no advance notice.

U.S. Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau kept missing par putts, and at one point, his shot was moved from the rough into the deep sand only four yards, which caused a two-bogey. He had 42 points in the opening nine and was thinking about a shorter trip in Scotland.

Rory McIlroy, hopeful of rebounding in his previous U.S. Open collapse, played a double bogey on the infamous “Postage Stamp” eighth hole and also dragged the golfer off the course on the 11th hole to create the double bogey. He was already five over and was in a slump.

Thomas did not appear to be immune to the effects.

He was one of three golfers who made it to 4-under as early as the game and had the breeze at its back during the 9th hole inward at Troon. Then, his shot from the tee fell in a place that demanded an additional drop. Consequently, his putt fell short of 4 feet, and made two bogeys. The second shot was a wild swoop through grass that was so that the caddie shouted out into the galleries “Last call. Can anyone see the ball on from the left?” They finally found the ball however it was an avenue that led to the hole and bogey.

“A little bit of a hiccup in the beginning of the back nine but stayed patient and kept plugging,” Thomas added.

In reality, Thomas managed to keep his cool. He was able avoid a second bogey after making par with 12 feet the following day, a 6-iron up eight feet or more to birdie on the 17th. The 18th hole birdie, which demonstrated how the winds were helping him. He hit an iron off the tee, wedge hitting 25-foot on the 458-yard hole that was closing in.

Justin Rose, who had to clear the final qualifying test to be eligible to play in qualifying for the Open He also wowed by his bogey-free round scores of 69. The team he was with included an all-star team which included Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark and Alex Noren, who only qualified through qualifying for the Scottish Open.

Matt Wallace was one of the players who were 4 under for the round, but the golfer made three bogeys on the 9th hole. He was 70 when he completed the round and was with Adam Scott.

The following are five things you should be aware of when visiting the Royal Troon Golf Club.

Justin Leonard, a winner of Royal Troon in 1997, returned on the green to make his first appearance since the 2016 event and was honoured with the honor of being the first golfer to hit and was presented with his sparkling claret Jug that was placed beside his name on the podium. He scored an 80, which was one of five rounds that exceeded the 80 mark. The list included John Daly, who made an 8 on the final hole to score an 82.

The master’s winner Scottie Scheffler is among the best players around the world. One player and Tiger Woods were among the players who played later in the daytime. Wind was stronger and more strong. Rain never seemed far away. It was challenging for everyone.

Backs are more long, and are generally an extremely windy type. The opposite direction was employed at first, but it created some problems.

“It’s going to play as easy as it can all week, I think, because the ball is getting up there on these holes,” Scott said. “Last event I played I was able put two irons and three irons through each hole, however today, the sand wedge was that it went into 15. When I tried to understand the issue it was like an exercise round my back nine today. 

Thomas was not doing well after that 62 mark at the very beginning during his time at The Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club which is a links-themed course however, it is not connected course. Thomas didn’t learn much from the course, other than to state that he believed that he had played better than the 68 course that he played on at the Royal Troon course. Royal Troon.

A memory which went unnoticed over time was when he was 82 and Thomas first began playing one year ago in Royal Liverpool. Thomas faced a rocky time this year, trying to avoid his chances to compete for the PGA Tour postseason (he did) and attempting to get his golf game back onto the right path. He hasn’t won in over two seasons. He walked out of Royal Troon feeling for certain that he was headed in the right direction.
