Fraser enjoys opening round
20/07/2006 - 12:48:49Marcus Fraser took the early lead in the British Open today after posting a four-under-par 68 despite admitting to being overawed at mixing it with the great and good.
The Australian missed the cut last year at St Andrews when he made his bow in the tournament.
However he went some way to making amends this year by chalking up six birdies and two bogeys in his first round at Royal Liverpool.
Fraser said: “I almost forget about playing golf for the week at St Andrews as I had my mum and dad as well as friends there. I was a bit overawed by it all and still am. But it is now under control.
“I am happy with the way things are going. I am playing well and looking forward to tomorrow.”
