July 15 (UPI) — Louis Oosthuizen climbed to the top of the leaderboard after Thursday’s first round of the 2021 British Open at Royal St. George’s in Kent, England.
Oosthuizen, who finished as the runner-up in the last two majors, saved par from a fairway bunker on hole No. 18 for a 6-under 64 in the opening round. That tied the lowest first round at Royal St. George’s, which was previously set in 1981 by Christy O’Connor Jr.
