00:00 Cal grad Max Homa shot a 300-par 68 and sits in a tie for seventh place after the first
00:09 round of the British Open at Royal Liverpool.
00:14 He is just two strokes back.
00:16 But the story here today was Christo Lamprecht, a 22-year-old rising senior from Georgia Tech
00:23 who comes from South Africa.
00:25 He is 6'8", believed to be the tallest player ever at the Open, and he shares the lead at
00:32 five under par.
00:33 Stewart Sink described him as a basic nightmare, his size, his power.
00:38 It remains to be seen if the amateur can maintain what he's done in the first round.
00:44 I take my chances with Max Homa, who's been there before.
00:47 Max, of course, has never won a major.
00:50 This would be a big opportunity for him.
00:52 Colin Morikawa had a rougher day on Thursday, shot a 73.
