The 2011 Open Championship first round groupings and tee times have been released and there are some interesting three balls to follow on Thursday. 

Rory McIlroy will play with American Rickie Fowler, who he partnered in the opening round of both the US Masters and US Open, and Tour veteran Ernie Els. There should be some fantastic scoring in that group and it would be no surprise to see McIlroy shoot to the top of the leaderboard as he will be relaxed and comfortable around two friends. Ladbrokes make it evens that the Northern Irishman outscores his playing partners and that price will surely not last for too long.

There are some other intriguing three balls on Thursday, with Lee Westwood partnering Charl Schwartzel and Steve Stricker around Royal St. Georges on the first day. Westwood isn't a great starter in major tournaments and he may find himself being overshadowed by Stricker, who won the John Deere Classic last weekend. The American is 2/1 to be top of the trio which tees off at 14:10 GMT.

Two Englishman who are worth investing in on the opening day of the 2011 Open Championship are Justin Rose and Ian Poulter. Rose, who is 13/8 to win his three ball, is playing with Adam Scott and Zach Johnson. Both are fantastic golfers but neither has the game for links golf and Rose, who burst to prominence at Royal Birkdale in 1998, thrives when playing in tricky conditions. He should have no problem outscoring his playing partners.

Similarly, Poulter tends to save his best for The Open and his second placed finish at Birkdale in 2008 was his career best in a major championship. The 35-year-old will play with Dustin Johnson and Yuta Ikeda. Johnson has played some fantastic golf in the last year but he could struggle to adapt his game to Royal St. Georges, while Ikeda has never made the cut at any Open Championship. At 11/8, Poulter looks to be a stand out bet to beat the pair on Thursday.
