Open diary: Fast starts, fond farewells and unexpected packages

David Carey produced a sparkling 67 to ease into the weekend on -5. Whatever comes next for the Dubliner, it is unlikely to get bigger than a weekend of golf at the 150th Open Championship

Fast Start 

Adam Scott had the round of the day early on with a 65 which took him to -7. He was +4 for his opening six holes on Day 1 and hasn’t had a bogey since.
