Lydia Ko has made a strong start to the British Open with an opening round 68 to sit three shots off the lead.
Ko recorded five birdies and a bogey to finish her round at four-under in a share of eighth.
Aussie Minjee Lee is the first round leader at seven-under following a round of 65 that included six birdies and an eagle. Japan's Maiko Higa, who played with Ko, is a further shot back in second.
"I feel like I played pretty solid and gave myself quite a few looks at birdie which is a good thing, especially in a major championship, but starting off four-under in round one is a solid start," said Ko.
"I think the biggest thing for me is just to enjoy being out there, I had two great players to play alongside and everyone was playing really solid. I just tried to have fun, it's a long week so you just have to be patient and try enjoy every moment."
