It was not a great start for the Swedish participants in this year's The Open.

Alexander Björk and Henrik Stenson both went the first round of 75 strokes and are with it three over par and are in shared 120th place.

It will probably take a strong second round for the Swedes to continue playing the major.

American Cameron Young leads the competition after going the first round of 64 strokes and is a total of eight under par.

In second place is Rory McIlroy, two strokes behind Young, at six under par.

Tiger Woods has also had a shaky start to the competition.

The American is well down in the results list of five over par.
