On his Open Championship debut, Willett made light of being out in the first group at 0630 BST, firing three birdies in a steady one-under 69.

“I drove it well all round and that’s the key round here,” he told BBC Sport.

Willett made his first birdie of the day at the par-five seventh, dropped one at the ninth, then got it back at the next.

And, although he bogeyed 13, he got his final birdie of the round at the 496-yard par four 15th – and a long putt for par at 18 ensured that he completed his round in red figures.

“But I’ve just got try and do the dame again as we pretty much stuck to our game plan .

“I’ve not been nervous all week, although it’s a bit different though when you finally get on the first tee and they announce your name.

“But I played pretty well and the same again tomorrow will do me.”
