St Andrews (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods will be the two big storylines early Thursday when the 144th British Open gets underway at St Andrews.

The world number two and world number 241 both have mid-morning tee-times and both have goals to achieve.

The 21-year-old Spieth is seeking a third straight major win after taking the Masters and US Open in the space of two months.
