Hazel Irvine and Dan Walker introduce early action from Royal St George's, where those involved in morning action on the Kent links course will be hoping the wind does not become a factor as they try to achieve goal one of making the cut.

American Ben Curtis did exactly that the last time the Open was played at the course in 2003 and eventually walked away with the Claret Jug. He fired one-over-par rounds of 72 in each of his opening two rounds to stay in the hunt, before shooting under par rounds over the final two days.

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
