Open Championship 2018 leaderboard LIVE: Latest golf scores as Jordan Spieth continues defence, Tiger Woods battles conditions
The Open Championship often provides golf’s toughest test, and Carnoustie presents the sternest challenge of all courses on the rotation.
American Kevin Kisner held the first-round lead as Rory McIlroy made an encouraging start.
Kisner, who led by a shot after 54 holes of last year's US PGA before finishing seventh, carded a five-under-par 66 to secure a one-shot lead over compatriot Tony Finau and the South African pair of Erik van Rooyen and Zander Lombard.
McIlroy, who is seeking a first major title since 2014, was part of a large group on two under par which also included Spain's Jon Rahm, world number two Justin Thomas, 2015 winner Zach Johnson and the English pair of Danny Willett and Matthew Southgate.
