Green felt record pressure

Richard Green admitted the pressure got to him after missing a putt which would have set a new Carnoustie course record and equalled the lowest-ever round in a major.

The rangy Australian shot a record-equalling round of 64 at the Open after carding a bogey at the 18th.

"I definitely felt the pressure," the 36-year-old conceded. "It's a very demanding hole."

He added: "On the last green, I thought it was going to be fantastic to make that putt and I gave myself as good an opportunity as possible.

"I read it as well as I could possibly have read it and I probably hit as good a putt as I was going to hit. I just missed on the low side, which was a shame."
