Watch Francesco Molinari’s first round at The Open via Sky Sports live stream

Written by on 18/07/2019

Francesco Molinari begins his title defence at The Open on Thursday morning and you can watch his opening round from Royal Portrush for free via Sky Sports’ live video stream.

The Italian is aiming to become the first player since Padraig Harrington to win back-to-back Opens, having claimed his maiden major title at Carnoustie last year.

Molinari tees off alongside Bryson DeChambeau and former world No 1 Adam Scott, who has posted top-10 finishes in the last two majors.

Sky Sports views had the chance to select which threeball they would like to see as the marquee group for the afternoon session, with Molinari’s 9.58am group the overwhelming winner.

We will be streaming the afternoon featured group right here on the Sky Sports website and app, with coverage getting underway just before Molinari’s group tees off.
