The 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club is underway as the first round began around 12:35 a.m. Dallas time. This is the first year since 1972 that The Open is the final major tournament of the season, as the PGA Championship was moved from August to May.
This will be the second British Open ever held at Royal Portrush and in Northern Ireland, the last one being in 1951. The British Open is the oldest of the four major men's golf championships.
Jordan Spieth looks to get back on track at The Open, where he has had good success over the past few years.
