AP Photos LUSS, Scotland (AP) Martin Laird finally came home, putting on quite a show at the Scottish Open.

He twice chipped in for birdie on his way to a 6-under 65 that left him one shot behind Richard Green after the opening round at Loch Lomond.

Laird was born in Glasgow but never played as a pro in Scotland, or any European Tour event, until Thursday.

Buick Invitational winner Nick Watney opened with a 67. John Daly, who continues to play most of his Golf in Europe after his six-month suspension on the PGA Tour was lifted, had three bogeys on the back nine and finished at 69.

Also at 69 were Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy and Camilo Villegas, who all played in breezy conditions in the afternoon.
