British Open 2017: Live Leaderboard Results for Thursday at Royal Birkdale

The 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, resembles many past Opens.

In other words, it's cold, gray and windy out, and most golfers aren't doing well adapting to the conditions and links-style course.

It's been an interesting challenge so far, but a few golfers have managed to succeed, most notably Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka.

Here's a look at their performances on Thursday, along with two other Open storylines.

Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka

Spieth, who nearly won the 2015 Open Championship, looks like the golfer to beat this year after a fantastic five-under-65 round on Thursday that didn't feature a single bogey.
