Martin Laird fired a flawless 8-under 64 to grab a share of the lead at the Scottish Open after the opening round. The American carded eight birdies, including three in a row from the 15th, to move alongside first-round leader Bradley Neil of Scotland.
Overnight leader Julien Guerrier remains in contention after posting a 69, while Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy are two shots off the pace after solid opening rounds.
Thomas, who won the Scottish Open in 2018, carded a 6-under 66, as he looks to defend his title from last year.
