It's hard playing golf as it is, particularly when your father is Lee Westwood! Watch poor Sam suffer a 'top' on the range

It must be pretty tough to impress your dad on the golf range, especially when he's one of the best strikers of a golf ball to have played the game.

Sam Westwood must know the feeling. 

He joined dad Lee on the range at Royal Troon following Day One at The Open as Westwood senior worked on his swing with his coach.

Westwood began his latest quest for a first major championship by shooting a level-par 71, leaving him eight shots off overnight leader, Phil Mickelson.

The 43-year-old, playing with Ernie Els and Mickelson, made late gains on day one, having been three-over-par after 11. That would explain his jovial mood on the range with his son, who gave Westwood the giggles after embarrassingly topping the ball about 10 yards when trying to hit an iron shot. 

Watch the video at the top of the page to see Westwood's reaction to his son's gaffe. Remember you can watch live action from Royal Troon all week on our dedicated Sky Sports The Open channel.
