INVERNESS, Scotland (AP) -- Scott Hend of Australia and Felipe Aguilar of Chile made it through blustery conditions and shot 3-under 69 to share the lead Thursday after the first round of the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open.
Phil Mickelson wasn't so fortunate. The five-time major champion, a winner the last time the Scottish Open was held at Castle Stuart, made three bogeys on the par 5s and opened with a 76.
Along with trying to win the tournament, Aguilar is trying to get one of the four spots available for the British Open next week at Royal Troon.
