CARNOUSTIE, Scotland Brandon Stone knew it when he hit it.I knew I hit it out of bounds, the South African said following his opening round in the 147th Open Championship.Stones second shot on the par-4 18th, from the left fescue, was pulled into the grandstands, which are marked as O.B. But instead of settling in with the crowd, the ball ricocheted back towards the green and nearly onto the putting surface.Stone made his par and walked away with a 3-under 68, two shots off the early lead.I really didnt put a good swing on it, bad contact and it just came out way left, Stone said. I feel so sorry for the person I managed to catch on the forehead there, but got a lucky break.

When you get breaks like that you know youre going to have good weeks.Its been more than just good luck recently for Stone. He shot 60 in the final round missing a 9-foot birdie putt for the first 59 in European Tour history to win last weeks Scottish Open. It was his third career win on the circuit and first since 2016. It was also just his first top-10 of the season.A testament to a different mental approach and probably the change in putter, said Stone, who added that he switched to a new Ping Anser blade model last week.Ive been putting, probably, the best I have in my entire life.This marks Stones sixth start in a major championship, with his best finish a tie for 35th in last years U.S. Open. He has a missed cut and a T-70 in two prior Open Championships.
