British Open Leaderboard 2018: Latest Scores and Standings from Thursday

The 2018 British Open got underway at Carnoustie in Angus, Scotland on Thursday, kicking off four days of the best golf the world has to offer.

Jordan Spieth will de looking to defend his title and claim a fourth major, but he will not have it easy in a field of the world's best players.

World No. 1 Dustin Johnson and Englishman Justin Rose are both well fancied as they chase a first Open title, while three-time winner Tiger Woods has impressed hugely this year as he has played his way back to form.

All of them will be in action on Thursday for Round 1 of the oldest and most prestigious of the majors.
