The Open and its golfers pay their respects to victims of the Nice attack
THE FRENCH FLAG is flying at half-mast at The Open Championship today and players are paying their own tributes as they honour the victims of a suspected terrorist attack in Nice.
Tournament organisers the R and A offered players black ribbons to wear on day two at Royal Troon after 84 people were killed when a lorry ploughed into crowds celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city.
French player Clement Sordet took to the course among the opening group with “Pray For Nice” written on his cap.
Sordet’s compatriot Victor Dubuisson is scheduled to tee off at 1.48pm.
