Local favourite Tommy Fleetwood gave the fans exactly what they wanted on the first day of the 151st Open at Royal Liverpool, the Southport-man shooting a sparkling five-under 66 to the delight of the galleries.
By the time the six-time DP World Tour winner walked off the 18th green at around 3pm to sign caps and flags for his many young fans, Fleetwood had earned himself a share of the lead alongside amateur Christo Lamprecht.
