The former Open champion fired off a six under round of 66 to head to the top of the leaderboard, alongside Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Michael Hoey and Markus Brier, setting himself up for another win at St Andrews at the end of the week.

"There's nothing better than holding the Claret Jug at St Andrews. Hopefully at the end of the week it's just a different trophy," Oosthuizen said.
Also in contention at one shot behind the early leaders is Graeme McDowell, who seemed to return to form after a difficult season so far. The 32 year-old has recently returned to his previous coach Clive Tucker, in an attempt to bring his game back to the standard it was at in 2010.
"It was a bit of soul-searching and Clive was the answer, a guy that understands my game very well and was probably a lot to answer for why I played well in 2010," McDowell explained.
"I'm not breaking my ties with Pete (Cowen), I still want him to coach me but I needed another opinion on things."

Meanwhile Lee Westwood started the championship well with an opening round of 68, to sit beside Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington, defending champion Martin Kaymer and others at joint 11th. They are one shot ahead of Luke Donald, and Rory McIlroy finished the day at two under.
