Luke Donald hoped to make better use of the welcome he got from a crowd acknowledging the world number one playing on home soil.

The Hemel Hempstead-born 33-year-old, who bases himself in the United States, carded a one-over 71 on day one of the Open Championship in the group behind favourite Rory McIlroy.

"You hear a few shouts from the crowd, 'number one' and 'congrats' and stuff like that, and you try to draw from all the good stuff that got you to number one," he said.

"Certainly there was a lot more applause onto tees; I think people [were] appreciating the good golf I've been playing lately.

"You try to use the energy of the crowd to your advantage but it was tricky and the conditions weren't easy.

"The wind at times was very gusty but I felt like I played a pretty solid round, other than some missed opportunities on the greens.

"I had three or four lip-outs today, a few other opportunities that went amiss.

"It really could have been a very good round, although 71 is still solid, but certainly it could have been a little bit better if I'd had the putter going."
