The first day of the 144th Open Championship is underway, with Dustin Johnson shooting a 7-under 65 to earn the clubhouse lead. Despite low scores in the morning, the wind has been picking up and it’s presenting more challenges for the players with afternoon tee times. After counting down to the Open, Mercedes-Benz Golf speaks with its brand ambassador, two-time Major Champion Martin Kaymer, as he gives us an insight on how to tackle this golf course.
Not everyone loves the Old Course at St Andrews at first sight but there is a certain appeal to such a historic place. Players’ affection for the Old Course grows as they play it more and appreciate the architecture that has stood the test of time since the 1400s. No matter what your opinion is of the Old Course, one thing is certain, the player who wins the Open here will be worthy of an Open Champion.
