Ugliness at Birkdale

Nasty rain and windy conditions have made the first round of the Open Championship very difficult. One player is under par at 9:18am ET - Robert Karlsson - arguably one of the hotter players in the world of late. Jean van de Velde is sitting on even par. As for players in the clubhouse, that lead is at +1 held by Retief Goosen. +4 is next best and is shared by defending champion Padraig Harrington and Tom Watson.
