Gaganjeet Bhullar marked his British Open debut by matching the one-over-par 71 shot by Tiger Woods.

The only Indian in the competition had an impressive seven birdies but his card was blotted by a triple bogey seven at the second hole and a six at the par four 14th. He admitted he had been a little rusty after a lay-off from tournament golf.


"This is my first competitive round after almost two months and it took me some time to adjust again," he said, adding: "If you are playing like seven to eight weeks in a roll, then it's still fine but playing after a long break is totally different. I'm really enjoying all the support everyone's giving me. It's a pretty decent finish considering my shaky start. But after overcoming that, I slowly recovered and never looked back."
