TROON, Scotland (AP) -- The latest from the British Open (all times local to Scotland):
12:30 p.m.
Colin Montgomerie gets to hit the opening tee shot at Royal Troon in what likely will be his final British Open.
Montgomerie's father was a longtime secretary at Royal Troon, so this effectively is his home course on the Open rotation. The 53-year-old Scot went through final local qualifying to make it back to golf's oldest championship.
Montgomerie will be joined in the first group at 6:35 a.m. Thursday with Luke Donald and Marc Leishman, who lost in a playoff at St.
