Tiger Woods is William Hill’s 11/2 fav at The Open following the 1st round at Lytham while Adam Scott, leader on -6, is an 8/1 chance.
Rory Mcllroy has been backed and is the 9/1 third favourite.
“We count ourselves lucky that Woods & Mcllroy did not shoot lower scores and hope the field bunches up further tomorrow,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
