Friday the Thirteenth; Unlucky for Some?

As our young hopefuls tee-off on their quest for golfing glory, perhaps the 13th is a significant date, at least for the superstitious amongst us, and sportsmen, especially golfers are at the top of that list. They have the colour of their shirts, number on their golf ball, favourite marker and of course their pre-shot routine.

Frenchman Julien Brun lead the field at 7.30, under blue skies but also a freshening wind. So the challenges from the course are still at their devilish best. Will he triumph? Time will tell  ...there are another 31 out there standing in his way, hoping that superstition falls everywhere else but them.

If you're heading off to the sunshine of Barassie in Ayrshire to watch the British Boys Championships today, you can check the order of play for the morning ties at the R&A Website just now.

The sixteen ties started with Julien Brun at 7.30am this morning and will be followed by the round four ties after lunch.

The golf is getting increasingly competitive and it should be a great day for spectating.
