BBC Sport’s Mark Orlovac on Twitter: "It really is a glorious morning here at Turnberry, the contrast with the first day at Birkdale could not be more stark. Wonder how the 1st group are feeling"0635: Broadhurst, alongside Kiwi Michael Campbell and American Mark Calcavecchia, strolls down the opening fairway to polite applause as the crowds begin to build nicely even at this early hour. And that allows me to give you an early pointer that this year’s Open will be what can only be described as Twitter-tastic. We have Robin Hodgetts, Mark Orlovac, Iain Carter and Ged Scott – among others – in place at Turnberry and all of them are armed with a mobile phone and an intention to keep us all updated via the medium of Tweets throughout the next four days. Modern technology huh
0630: "On the tee, Paul Broadhurst", yelps Open starter Ivor Robson, and the Englishman gets the 138th Open Championship under way with a super drive right down the middle of the fairway. Let me tell you, conditions could not be better at Turnberry right now – take a picture and slap it on a postcard, someone, please. If it stays like this, we could be looking at a heap of low scores today – something that few were predicting earlier this week.BBC Sport’s Rob Hodgetts on Twitter: "Quick cup of splosh, then out to the 1st tee. Not so warm. Lots of dew. Dry, with some clouds, some clear patches. Excited, it’s the Open!"0628: Turnberry – one of the most picturesque courses out there – plays host to The Open this year and, with literally seconds to go until the first shot, why don’t you think about getting involved via text on 81111 Few things in life fully justify a 0430 alarm call, I’m sure you’ll agree, but The Open is up there with Christmas morning and a long-haul holiday flight to the sunny climbs of who knows where. Get involved.0625: Oh yes, I know what you’re thinking… just when you thought this summer’s feast of top sporting action could not get any more plentiful, along comes the 138th Open Championship. Settle yourself in for four days of quality, nail-biting, topsy-turvy golfing action because, as far as I can tell, any one of about three dozen players will fancy their chances of taking home the most coveted prize in world golf on Sunday evening. Are you ready to rumble
