Aiken is one of a number of South African players who have their sights set on winning their home Open, and the 28-year-old did his cause no harm at all by shooting two eagles and five birdies in a superb bogey-free 64 that made him the 3/1 favourite.

However, there are a number of players hot on his heels, led by fellow countrymen Retief Goosen and Jaco Ahlers. Goosen ( 4/1) reeled off nine birdies and a bogey to complete his opening 18 holes in eight-under, and he is joined in second place by Ahler (33/1) who made eight birdies in a bogey-free display.

Welshman Phillip Price (33/1) leads the British contingent after a seven-under-par 66 saw him end the day alongside Michael Du Toit (40/1) and Dean O’Riley (66/1), while Englishmen Richard Bland (50/1) and Danny Willett (16/1) joined Maarten Lafeber (50/1), Charles-Edouard Russo (66/1) , JJ Senekal (100/1) and Shaun Norris (40/1) on six-under.

South African Louis Oosthuizen (7/1) is two shots further back on four-under after a double-bogey at the par-four sixth blotted his card.
