Lee Westwood is holding on to the top spot at Muirfield, as Tiger Woods fall away.

Westwood is +1 for the round, having completed 7 holes. The Englishman is -2 overall, with Henrik Stenson one back on -1 and Adam Scott one further back, on level par. Stenson has shot a very impressive -2 through 10 holes to move him into contention.

Tiger Woods has dropped back to +2 overall, with 3 bogeys on his opening 8 holes. Hunter Mahan – who began the day tied for second with Woods – has also hit 3 bogeys already, pushing him back into the chasing pack.

Ian Poulter has been the tale of the day thus far, however, as he went eagle, birdie, birdie, birdie between the 9^th and 12^th. Poulter is now on +1 overall.
