The British Open is off and running at Royal Troon.
The final major championship of the year teed off on Thursday morning in Scotland, where it’s expected to be cold, windy and rainy throughout the week. While top-ranked Scottie Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite, there are plenty of others who can make a run at the Claret Jug come Sunday afternoon. In the early going, that includes Justin Thomas, winless since his 2022 PGA Championship victory but now the clubhouse leader after posting a 3-under 68.
Tiger Woods is back in the field this week after his rough outing at the U.
