SOUNDBITE (English) Colin Montgomerie, English golfer:(On hitting the first tee shot of the 2016 Open)

"Fantastic, a great honour, a great honour. A great honour for all three of us. Marc Leishman and Luke Donald felt it as well. It was a great atmosphere on the first tee. We all hit reasonable shots and off we go. Just the second, third fourth and six shots that weren't so good for me. They both birdied it of course. They just had to go and birdied it to just make it worse. I'm three back on the second tee so I was quite pleased with myself because I beat them both at the end of the day."
