TROON, Scotland -- With his ball buried and up against the face of a pot bunker, Colin Montgomerie feared the worst after just two shots at the British Open.Montgomerie was given the honor of hitting the first tee shot Thursday at Royal Troon, his home club, in what likely will be his last Open. It was a proud moment for the 53-year-old Scotsman but things soon were looking bleak after his 6:35 a.m. start.His second shot landed in what he described as a horrendous position and he couldnt get the ball out of the bunker. The third shot looped up and rolled back into his footprint -- and my footprint is deeper than most, Montgomerie said, jokingly -- so he had to hit the ball out sideways with his fourth shot. An up-and-down later, Monty was walking off with a double-bogey 6 from possibly the easiest hole at Troon.No wonder Montgomerie was happy to finish with an even-par 71.Top 10 in the world would have taken 71 there, Montgomerie said. Im very proud of myself for hanging on in there. It would have been easy to score 78 there, simple.Montgomerie was 3 under for the front nine and 3 over for the back nine. He said that would be par scoring in a gorgeous opening day in western Scotland.This course hasnt shown any teeth today. This is a 3-out-of-10 job, he said. Tomorrow, we are talking 7 or 8-out-of-10.Montgomerie, a Ryder Cup-winning player and captain and widely regarded as one of the best players never to win a major, was up at 4 a.m. and said there were nerves stepping onto the first tee that he knows so well.Id be inhuman if there wasnt, he said. But I sort of dug deep into the Ryder Cup ways. Id led off the tee twice in the singles, led off the tee three or four times in the fourball and foursomes. So it was that type of feeling.Yet after his first-hole problems, five birdies in the following eight holes saw him make the turn in 33 and, for a few minutes, he was top of the leaderboard.He dropped three shots on an inward nine playing into the wind, and needed a 40-foot par save on No. 13 and one from 20 feet at No. 18 to prevent giving away more shots.Montgomerie was given a rousing reception by spectators as he approached the 18th green. He wants to feel that again on Sunday.All I was hoping for is to walk on the 18th on Sunday, Montgomerie said. And Im still with that. I havent changed my goal.

Travis Kelce Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. Nico Rosberg is unsure whether he will carry the number one on his car when he defends his Formula One title in 2017.Ahead of the 2014 season, F1 drivers were required to choose a career number between 2 and 99, with numbers previously being allocated in championship order. That rule change also states a driver can choose whether to take the number one when the defending champion -- Sebastian Vettel did in 2014 before reverting to the number five at Ferrari, though Lewis Hamilton kept 44 for 2015 and 2016 despite being reigning champion for both seasons.Rosbergs title win means Nico and father Keke, the 1982 champioon, both won the world title with the number six on their car.ddddddddddddWhen asked if he will change numbers after winning the title in Abu Dhabi, Rosberg said: I have no idea. I love number six of course, my Dad won the world championship with number six as well, so its a very lucky number for us. Dont know, thats it.When justifying his own decision to stick with 44 in 2015, Hamilton claimed having the number one on the car was irrelevant as his rivals knew who the world champion was.
