British Open 2018 Leaderboard: Updating Results and Standings for Thursday

The 2018 British Open is underway, and America's Kevin Kisner is the early leader after shooting a five-under par 66 on his opening round on Thursday at Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland.

Kisner took advantage of the dry and fast conditions, as he hit an eagle and four birdies to seal a brilliant start to the tournament.

South African duo Erik van Rooyen and Zander Lombard and America's Tony Finau are both one shot further back at four-under par

Defending champion Jordan Spieth started well and was three under after 11 holes. However, he dropped four shots at the final four holes to finish the day with a one-over 72, six behind Kisner.
