Day 1, Part 1

Duration: 3 hours

First broadcast: on BBC HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Hazel Irvine and Dan Walker present live action as the 140th Open Championship day 1 leaderboard begins to take shape.

Royal St George's first played host to the Open Championship 117 years ago. England's John Henry Taylor shot a first round 84 but still went on to lift the Claret Jug. In 2010 it was Rory McIlroy, so often a low scorer in the opening rounds, who took centre stage at St Andrews. The Northern Irishman opened his tournament with a 63, the best round of the entire four days of competition; it left him two shots clear of eventual winner Louis Oosthuizen.

Commentary comes from Peter Alliss, Ken Brown, Andrew Cotter, Wayne Grady, Mark James, Philip Parkin and Maureen Madill. Mark Pougatch and Russell Fuller report from the course. Show less
