ST ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) – American Kirk Triplett and Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand shot 7-under 65s Thursday to lead the Senior British Open by one stroke Langer

Long the dominant figure in over-50s golf, Langer arrived at St. Andrews as the man to beat.

Langer is tied for fifth PGA champion David Toms and another American, Scott McCarron, with the trio one shot behind forming Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley and Canadian Stephen Ames

As many as 16 players shot 68 or less, a figure that almost included 68- year old Tom Watson, a bright and breezy day.

The seven men atop the leaderboard were all at least 3-under by the turn. But it was a different matter coming home. No one in the 144-strong field was better than 3 for their final nine holes.
