It's a chilly, rainy Round 1 at the Women's British Open today in Southport, England, on the links of Royal Birkdale. Players are bundled up in layers, in jackets, and in rain pants, wearing ear muffs. And, as some of those players pointed out, today was supposed to be the day with the best weather.
Scores, not surprisingly, are high. You can follow the action at the Women's British Open live leaderboard.
Royal Birkdale is one of the best seaside links in Britain, part of the British Open rota. Check out the Royal Birkdale photo gallery.

Yani Tseng… amazing. Also amazing is that LPGA’s stars fly so low under the radar. I probably would have a hard time picking her out of the lineup… while Rory McIlroy could probably have a hat on and I recognize him in the back of a pub. My fault or LPGA’s?
