Casey slips to over par after flare at Open round
Paul Casey opened 2-under at Royal Lytham St Annes but carded a 72 after a tee shot into out of bounds near concession stands. He blamed the miscue on an unfamiliar OB area and noted his shoulder is healthy yet scoring slips. Tiger Woods drew a birdie on the first, while Tom Watson shot 71 as Open field adjusted to the British Open.
