Round 1 of the 2024 Open Championship recently concluded at Royal Troon. Challenging conditions marked the day, and Daniel Brown emerged as the surprising leader, finishing with a score of 66, six under par. His performance was impressive, as he managed to avoid any bogeys throughout the round.
This was a significant turnaround for Brown, who had struggled in previous tournaments, missing six consecutive cuts on the DP World Tour before this event.
Shane Lowry, a former champion, also had a strong showing. He finished the day at five under par, just one stroke behind Brown. Lowry expressed his determination to maintain this momentum over the next three rounds.
It's good, it's great, but there's three rounds left.. I'm fully aware that I have a job to do over the next three days.Shane Lowry told the reporters
Justin Thomas, who had a rough start last year, improved significantly this time, carding a 68 to sit at three under par. Other notable players included Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele, both of whom finished at two under par. Rose, a seasoned veteran, managed to play flawlessly with two birdies and 16 pars.
