“I didn’t really have a target in my head, I was more nervous about making sure I made the first tee shot and not messing up early.”
By his own admission, Tom Lewis’ aim, when he started his first round of The 140th Open at Royal St George’s, was to not embarrass himself.
Lining up alongside eight-time major winner Tom Watson will have done nothing for his nerves, with the 20-year-old having more reason than most to be awestruck by his illustrious playing partner, as he was named after the great man by his dad.
And as Tom and Tom set off at Sandwich on the Thursday, few would have thought it was the junior of the two who would be returning to the clubhouse as a record breaker later in the day.
