Trio happy with day's work at The Open

Two players seeking a first major title and one searching for his 15th were today enjoying - in every sense of the word - the clubhouse lead in the 142nd Open Championship.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson, third at Birkdale in 2008 and at St Andrews in 2010, carded a second consecutive 70 at a fiery Muirfield to post a target of two under par that was matched 30 minutes later by England's Lee Westwood.
