Big names chase unheralded Jackson Suber at The Open - Day one as it happened

Spieth +2, Fleetwood -1, Rahm -1 (7)

Work to do over at the seventh for Fleetwood. 

He leaves himself six feet for par but he's up to the task. 

Matthew Baldwin has been speaking to reporters after carding a two-over 72 on day one of The Open. 

The Royal Birkdale member had the honour of hitting the opening tee shot. 

"It was an incredible feeling," he said. 

"It was terrifying. It was overwhelming. 

"But it's something that will stay with me for the rest of my life."

He added: "I'm not even sure I lifted my head, if I'm honest. 

"I remember waving at a couple of people, but at the end of the day, your focus is obviously hitting the golf shot, isn't it. 

"There's time to wave at people after, I guess."

Scheffler -3, Hatton -2, Dechambeau -2 (6)

Scottie Scheffler misses the green at the par-three sixth. 

He catches his second thin and his ball rolls out some 20 feet past the cup. 

That's a bogey. 

DeChambeau and Hatton walk away with stress-free pars. 

Henley E, Rose +3, Hovland -1 (8)

Three bogeys in a row for Justin Rose. 

He needs to turn things around. And fast. 

Viktor Hovland is also animated after watching his six-footer for par at the eighth drift by the cup. 

Fleetwood -1, Rahm -1, Spieth E (5)

Tommy Fleetwood raises his putter and smiles at the crowd. 

He's under par at the 154th Open. 

His tee shot finds the bunker at the driveable par-four fifth and he produces a moment of magic from the bunker. 

A nine-foot birdie putt drops...

Henley E, Rose +2, Hovland -2 (7)

Justin Rose is going in the wrong direction. 

His tee shot lands in the greenside bunker, plugged, at the seventh. 

In fairness, Rose does well to escape. 

But he walks away with a nother bogey.

Scheffler -3, Hatton -2, DeChambeau -2 (5)

Scottie Scheffler's putting beautifully this morning. 

He rolls in a four-footer at the fifth to join the leaders on three-under. 

Hatton also walks away with a three. 

Taylor -3 (3)

Canada's Nick Taylor has never made the cut at The Open. 

But he's playing like a man possessed so far. 

Three birdies in a row. 

T. Detry -3, M. Baldwin +2, J. Nicholas +5

A superb opening round from the Belgian. 

He's in the clubhouse on three-under. 

Tough day for his playing partners. 

Spieth E, Fleetwood E, Rahm -1 (3)

A birdie putt finally drops for Jon Rahm. 

Fleetwood scrambles to save his par from eight feet.

Henley E, Rose E, Hovland -2 (5)

Viktor Hovland hits his approach at the fifth to inside three feet. 

He makes no mistake and joins the group of six players on two-under. 

D. Brown -3 (12)

A 20-foot birdie putt drops at the 12th for Dan Brown. 

He joins Smalley and Detry on three-under. 

Fleetwood E, Rahm E, Spieth E (2)

I took a stroll out to the first tee to witness Tommy Fleetwood's opening tee shot. 

I couldn't see much though because of the amount of support he has this morning. 

It's been a steady start so far from Fleetwood nonetheless. 

His playing partners are also on level, though Rahm is already gesticulating having missed two good opportunities for birdie.

Scheffler -1, DeChambeau -2, Hatton -1 (2)

Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau take advantage of the driveable par-four second. 

The world number one tucks away a birdie putt from 14 feet. 

DeChambeau continues his hot start with back-to-back birdies.

DeChambeau -1, Hatton -1, Scheffler E (1)

Tyrrell Hatton didn't fancy his chances last night. 

He told Live from the Range that his practice rounds led him to believe he'll watch the final round from the comfort of his couch. 

But he's made a perfect start with a birdie at the first.

DeChambeau also buries a putt from inside 10 feet. 

The LIV Golf recruits are off to a flyer!

Scheffler settles for a par. 

The football didn't go to plan last night but hopefully Tommy Fleetwood can cheer up the English. 

Fleetwood arrives to the first tee and receives a thunderous reception. 

He is playing alongside the 2017 Open champion, Jordan Spieth, and his Ryder Cup teammate Jon Rahm. 

It's cracking first tee shot from Fleetwood. 

Straight down the middle. 

Just how will Bryson DeChambeau fare this week?

The American has missed all three cuts in the majors this year. 

Before The Open began, he faced criticism from Sir Nick Faldo, who accused the LIV Golf recruit of having "zero strategy". 

DeChambeau fired back, insisting he's unbothered by the comments. 

He also believes that anything other than a win this week will be "disappointing". 

DeChambeau has just teed off alongside Scottie Scheffler and Tyrrell Hatton.

Henley E, Rose -1, Hovland -1 (1)

Game 17 has just teed off. 

There were loud cheers for England's Justin Rose. 

Aside from Tommy Fleetwood, it’s difficult to imagine a more popular champion than Rose.

The 46-year-old gets off to the best possible start by draining a putt from 12 feet for birdie. 

His Ryder Cup teammate, Viktor Hovland, follows him in for a three. 

Henrik Stenson, who won the Claret Jug after overcoming Phil Mickelson in one of the greatest Open duels ever witnessed at Royal Troon, is among the early starters on day one. 

The Swede has just made the turn in one-under. 

His sole birdie of the day arrived at the fifth:

Matthew Fitzpatrick is among the favourites to win the Claret Jug given the Englishman has won three times on the PGA Tour this year. 

Perhaps we should consider the possibility that his younger brother, Alex, could also be a contender. 

The 27-year-old dropped a shot at the second but has since recorded birdies at the fourth, fifth and seventh to shoot up the leaderboard. 

Belgium's Thomas Detry, who joined LIV Golf last winter, has tied Bob MacIntyre at the top of the leaderboard. 

Scotland's number one, Bob MacIntyre, certainly knows his way around a links. 

And he's made a fast start this morning, making consecutive birdies right out of the gate. 

He sits atop the leaderboard on two-under. 

Matthew Baldwin, Thomas Detry and Matthew Southgate are also the right side of par.
