American Cameron Tringale leads the Scottish Open after equalling the course record with a stunning first round of 61 at the Renaissance Club.
The 34-year-old, who claimed six consecutive birdies, sits on nine under, with compatriot Gary Woodland three shots behind in second.
Justin Harding, who was added to the field late after his LIV-related ban was stayed, is third on five under.
It was a different story for Ian Poulter, who slumped to eight over.
Like Harding, Poulter was banned by the DP World Tour after his involvement with LIV Golf, but a hearing on Monday temporarily reinstated all players concerned.
Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson is one of eight players tied for seventh at three under par.
The field includes 14 of the top 15 players in the men’s world rankings, but top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, who sits on three over with Robert MacIntyre, failed to keep pace.
Jordan Spieth led briefly and was five under par through eight, but the American finished in a tie for 15th, entering the second round with Spain’s Jon Rahm, who matched Spieth with a 68.
