Scotland's Robert MacIntyre has made a strong charge on his back nine, seizing the early clubhouse lead with a string of birdies. He is closely pursued by English favorite Tommy Fleetwood, who posted a solid, bogey-free 68 (-4) in the morning session, and the ever-dangerous Dane, Rasmus Højgaard.

With much golf still to be played in the first round, the leaderboard is expected to shift throughout the day. All eyes will be on the closing holes to see who can finish strong and set the pace for what promises to be a thrilling weekend of golf at a iconic venue.
