With a star-studded field playing, the Old Course serving as a historic backdrop and the pressure on given this is the final major of the year, the 150th Open Championship is already shaping up to be one to remember.

Sports will update this story with scores and highlights below. Check out the live scores at the top of this story, a more detailed leaderboard, Round 1 tee times and a complete Open TV schedule coverage guide.

Attacked:

“Quite often,” Justin Thomas said earlier this week when asked whether Woods had talked to him about being here for the 150th Open.

Woods, to make sure he was ready, even skipped the U.S. Open, allowing his leg, and his body that has endured multiple surgeries over a career in which he has won 15 major championships, to heal.

Score at the open:

Phil Mickelson decided not to attend Tuesday’s Champions’ Dinner at the 150th Open after being contacted a few weeks ago by R&A officials who told him it wouldn’t be a “great idea” for him to join the former winners.

“I just didn’t want to make a big deal about it, so I said fine,” Mickelson said Thursday following an even-par 72 in the opening round at St. Andrews. “We both kind of agreed that it would be best if I didn’t.”

Double Bogey:

Also voicing a strong opinion this week was R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers, who said that, though he won’t ban LIV players in the future, he could foresee a scenario in which the organization alters its qualifying criteria that could complicate the path to The Open. As a past champion, Mickelson, 51, is currently eligible to play The Open until he’s 60.

The Champions’ Dinner is held only at St. Andrews, and Mickelson, the 2013 Open winner, was conspicuously absent from a group that included Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, among others.
