TROON, Scotland -- With Rio pushed to the back of their minds for now, Great Britains Olympic team of Justin Rose and Danny Willett were left to rue missed opportunities on the first day of The Open.After being confirmed as one half of Team GB that will head to Brazil next month, Rose and Willett teed off at a sun-drenched Troon on Thursday knowing British eyes would be trained on them even more keenly than usual.While Americans dominated the top of the leaderboard -- including?Phil Mickelsons excruciating but record-tying 63 -- Rose posted a solid 3-under 68 to end the day within touching?distance in uncharacteristically benign conditions, while Willett was three back after a level-par 71.And with the calm weather set to give way to heavy rain and high winds on Friday, Rose admitted the field at the years third major are unlikely to have it so good again.The first seven holes for the whole week is going to be as easy as we had it, said Rose, who was level par through seven on Thursday. I knew I couldnt force it, but I wanted to be very sharp going out. I played really well, but hit a couple of putts that lipped outWalking to the first tee today I knew it was important to get off to a good start. Tomorrow will be a different challenge, but youre going to have to flip that switch. Some of those birdie holes are going to flip-flop between the front nine and the back nine.Rose made four birdies in a tidy opening round, including one on the 15th which played as the second toughest on the course overall on Thursday. Willett, however, enjoyed a strong front nine before handing back the three birdies he recorded as he struggled after the turn.The reigning Masters champion was in no mood to panic but admitted it was irritating to leave chances out there with bad weather looming on the horizon.Its frustrating, Willett told reporters. It could have been a really good day, but ended up just being average when the scoring conditions are as good as you can really ask for out here. Its only Thursday, but its always nice to get off to a good start in these tournaments.You know what the weathers going to do tomorrow, so its anyones game. It depends on the draw and how that figures out. It would be nice to be a couple shots closer.The decision by Rose and Willett to participate in the Rio Olympics?stands in stark contrast to a host of the worlds other top golfers, but the latter insisted he felt the love from the home crowd at Troon and was determined to repay them with a strong performance on Friday.Its nice to be back playing in The Open in front of your home crowd, he said. Just teeing off [here] regardless of what youve done is fantastic. Around a golf course like this, youve got a pretty good atmosphere on the fields where youve got holes running next to each other and a lot of people out there watching and supporting.
