Here are some of the tee times to keep an eye on tomorrow...
(08:28) McIlroy, Hovland, Schauffele
(13:32) Straka, Thomas, Canter
(13:43) Scheffler, MacIntyre, Scott
(13:54) Aberg, Morikawa, Couvra
Right everyone, get your dinner and off to bed. It's another early start. See you then!
Quartet share clubhouse lead; McIlroy & McIntyre four backpublished at 19:17 British Summer Time 10 July

The day is wrapping up here in North Berwick, with four players all tied for the clubhouse lead - Nico Echavarria, Jake Knapp, Sepp Straka and Victor Perez - on six under.
Of the big names, Wyndham Clark and Viktor Hovland sit on four under while Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Aberg are one shot behind that.
Grand Slam champion Rory McIlroy finished strongly after an up-and-down round to end on two under, with defending champ Bob MacIntyre also finishing on 68.
But it's Calum Hill who leads the six Scots with an impressive five under, leaving him joint fifth with Germans Marcel Siem and Matti Schmid, and Englishman Marco Penge.
We'll see you tomorrow, bright and early. Tee times to follow.

Austrian Straka set the early pace
Penge one off the leadpublished at 19:09 British Summer Time 10 July
Penge 65, Kim 66

Marco Penge could finish the day with a birdie, as he puts himself within 30 feet on the 18th. The putt comes up just short, and he finishes with par.
A good day for the 27-year-old, and not a bad day for playing partner Tom Kim either. He finishes with a four-under 66.

Postpublished at 18:59 British Summer Time 10 July
Spaun 70, Fleetwood 70

JJ Spaun, the US Open champ, finishes with a par. Tommy Fleetwood has already knocked in for par, and they walk off with Conor Syme.
There were plenty of Fleetwood fans here today, but they'd have wanted to see more from their man this afternoon. A lot to do tomorrow.
Scots in contentionpublished at 18:56 British Summer Time 10 July
Forrest 67, Syme 68

Grant Forrest bogeys the ninth - only his second bogey of the day - to drop back to three under. That's his last hole, as he started on the tenth.
Another Scot who has put himself in contention, alongside Calum Hill.
Up at the 18th, Conor Syme has a birdie chance - albeit from quite the distance. From almost 60 feet... he grazes the lip! Still, he'd have taken two under at the start of the day.
Happy with that McIlroy fans?published at 18:51 British Summer Time 10 July

Three bogeys, but five birdies for the Masters champ and he ends the day on two-under, four shots off the current lead.
What did you make of that, Rory fans?
Thumbs up for 'yeah, I'll take that'. Thumbs down for 'no'.

Penge one off lead with two to playpublished at 18:41 British Summer Time 10 July
Penge -5 (16), Kim -4 (16)

Another new name pops up at the bottom of our leaderboard. Englishman Marco Penge could have taken a share of the lead had he holed his ambitious eagle putt, but he has to make do with birdie.
Tom Kim then tries from about the same range, and his ball tickles the lip but stays out. He'll move to four under.
McIlroy finishes with birdiepublished at 18:39 British Summer Time 10 July
Hovland 66, McIlroy 68, Schauffele 68

Hovland watches his putt curve towards the hole... but not enough. It trickles by the right-hand side of the cup, before he sinks the par putt.
Rory McIlroy makes no such mistake though! He pours it in from almost 20 feet! A strong, strong finish from the Masters champion.
Xander Schauffele can't repeat the trick, just lipping out. A par for him after an up-and-down back nine.
McIlroy nearing end of opening roundpublished at 18:34 British Summer Time 10 July
McIlroy -1, Hovland -4, Schauffele -2

The big trio of Schauffele, Hovland and McIlroy are playing into the 18th after three terrific tee shots. Their approaches aren't bad either, despite playing into the wind and ever-sinking sun.
All have a birdie chance.

Final groups finishing uppublished at 18:30 British Summer Time 10 July
Rose 70, Fox 66

Not the finish Justin Rose would have wanted. His par putt drifts wide and he finishes with the third bogey of his day. Thankfully for him, he has three birdies as well.
Ryan Fox then knocks in from close range for a rare par. An odd day for him, but he finished with a four-under 66. You take those all day long.
Birdie for McIlroypublished at 18:25 British Summer Time 10 July
McIlroy -1, Hovland -4, Schauffele -2 (17)

A beautifully-judged putt from Rory McIlroy at 17 finds the bottom of the cup - a birdie two that takes him under par.
Xander Schauffele three-putts for bogey, but Viktor Hovland makes a solid par.
A two, a three and a four. To 18 they go.
Scot squadpublished at 18:21 British Summer Time 10 July
Forrest -4 (15), Ferguson -2 (68), Syme -1 (15)

It's been a decent day for the Scots out here.
After Calum Hill set the pace with a five-under sixty-five, Ewen Ferguson and Grant Forrest have done their best to keep pace.
A win for any Scot other than Bob MacIntyre (68) would be a huge shock, but it would delight an already patriotic crowd.
The other Scot in the field, Richie Ramsay, finished level par.
Knapp 'rolls with the punches' to share leadpublished at 18:16 British Summer Time 10 July
Knapp -6 (64)

Jake Knapp called the Renaissance Club "challenging" but admitted he found it "pretty easy for the most part" as he ended day one with a share of the clubhouse lead.
The Californian hasn't played much links golf but didn't let that stop him in a fine opening round.
"It's a challenging course," he said. "You have to drive it well and you have to strike iron shots properly and be able to judge the wind.
"It tests a little bit of everything - you can hit what you think is a decent shot and it can bounce somewhere and go somewhere funky. You have to be able to roll with the punches."
"I haven't played a ton of links golf but I feel like it fits my game pretty well. I like to be creative and hit different shots and just fits my eye."

Flying Fox falls backpublished at 18:13 British Summer Time 10 July
Fox -4 (16)

It's been a rollercoaster of a day for Ryan Fox.
The Kiwi has just bogeyed his fifth of the day, but only falls to four under after seven birdies and an eagle at the second.
The last bogey on the 17th was a three foot putt, that he pulled wide.
Postpublished at 18:12 British Summer Time 10 July
McIlroy E, Hovland -4, Schauffele -3 (16)

Rory McIlroy's eagle try is just wide, but he gets back to level par with a tap-in birdie.
Viktor Hovland has a good chance to reach five under par, but pulls his effort past the hole.
Xander Schauffele also gains a shot as this trio head to the par-three 17th.
Postpublished at 18:05 British Summer Time 10 July
McIlroy +1, Hovland -4, Schauffele -2 (15)

All three players in this star-studded group hit the fairway on the scoreable par-five 16th and Rory McIlroy finds the putting surface with his second shot.
A long eagle try coming up - how he could do with that.

Thrill for Hill near the toppublished at 17:55 British Summer Time 10 July
Hill -5 (65)

Scotland's Callum Hill is thrilled after his five-under 65 puts him joint-second.
"That was really good fun," said the 30-year-old.
"It's nice to come in here, probably the biggest event of the year for Scottish people, and have a good start. It's great.
"It's always nice to have family and friends around watching.
"I think my game feels quite good. So I came in a bit more relaxed this year, and it's nice just to put a good round together."
Damage limitation for McIlroypublished at 17:54 British Summer Time 10 July
McIlroy +1, Hovland -4, Schauffele -2 (15)

Rory McIlroy holes a fine putt from just off the green to drop just the one shot, while his playing partners Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland both make par.
Scot Syme gets under parpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 10 July
Syme -1, Fleetwood +1, Spaun +2 (14)

Scotland's Connor Syme moves into the black after a terrific tee shot and a kick-in for birdie.
Terrific stuff from the 29-year-old.
A par each for Tommy Fleetwood and JJ Spaun.
Bunker trouble for McIlroypublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 10 July
McIlroy E (14)

Rory McIlroy draws a horrible lie in a fairway bunker after he pushes his drive way right.
He hammers it straight into the lip and is then forced to chip out into the fairway with his third shot.
The Northern Irishman looks so frustrated with himself - after so much hard work, he'll do well to make bogey.
