St Andrews (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Jordan Spieth got his Open campaign off to a promising start at St Andrews on Thursday, but in the end he had to bow to playing partner Dustin Johnson who leads after the first round.

Tiger Woods meanwhile had another day of major misery and already he is facing a battle to avoid a third missed cut in the last four majors.
