BERNHARD LANGER FIRED AN OPENING 65 at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales for a two-shot lead over Bob Tway in the Senior British Open.
“Six under is very satisfying,” Langer said. “I played smart, some good, some great. I didn’t make many mistakes and that’s what it comes down to at the end.”
Langer got off to a fast start with four birdies on the outgoing nine, good for a 31.
“I kept it out of the bunkers and out of the hay, and gave myself some opportunities,” Langer added. “And I’m pleased with a birdie-birdie finish.”
U.S. Senior Open winner Colin Montgomerie shot a 1-over 72.
