British Open 2021: Louis Oosthuizen, Jordan Spieth lead way as normalcy returns to Open

Firstpost  

Spieth was a shot off the lead held by Oosthuizen, who saved par from a fairway bunker on No 18 for a 6-under 64. “I’ve learnt over the years playing major championships that patience is the key thing,” said Oosthuizen, who hasn’t won one of them since the British Open at St. Andrews in 2010. He shot 71, like Bryson DeChambeau, who spent much of his first round up to his knees in deep grass — and cursing his driver, saying it “sucks” — after being unable to use his power to overwhelm Royal St. George’s. “Here I feel for the first time since then I’m at least coming in with a bit of form, a bit of confidence, and really my start lines off the tee,” Spieth said. As they walked onto the green, one spectator shouted: “You three should be professionals.” To which Kaymer’s caddie, Craig Connolly, replied back across the green: “You should be a comedian.” “I feel like the fans here are very knowledgeable about the sport,” Spieth said, “and they’re also having a great time.”
