It’s sunny and relatively still this morning at Portrush. But don’t expect it to stay that way forever. It’ll begin to cloud over soon enough. The morning is expected to stay dry, the odd squall excepted, but the chances of showers increase in the afternoon. We should avoid heavy rain, but don’t bet the farm on it, this is links golf, this is the Open Championship. The wind should be gentle all day, though the aforementioned don’t-risk-the-mortgage caveat remains.
Lehman’s errant drive leads to a bogey. Not the ideal start to the champ’s valedictory round. He slips to +8. Niemann’s salvage bid looks doomed as he too drops a shot; he’s +6. Jimenez is the only one of the three to make par, but he remains at +11. It’ll be a wee while before things hot up this morning. Plenty of time to make yourself a cup of coffee.
