Boyd finishes seven over after first round at the Open
GARY Boyd finished seven-over par after the opening round at his first British Open at Royal Birkdale.
The Middleton Cheney golfer played alongside South Africa's Thomas Aiken and Australia's Bradley Lamb, and the trio teed-off at 11.10am on a wet and blustery morning.
Boyd made a great start but dropped a couple of shots on the way out to finish on 36.
He bogeyed the first two holes, had a par on three, birdied four, had par on five, six, seven and nine but dropped shots on the eighth, tenth and 11th.
It got worse for Boyd over the latter holes. He parred 13 and 14 but dropped shots on 12 and 15 to go six over. He had a par on 16 and 17 but dropped a shot on the last to finish seven-over par with a score of 77.
