SOUTHPORT, England (Reuters) - As an early starter on a day when the wind picked up in the afternoon, joint overnight leader Matt Kuchar was on the right side of Friday's draw and, at 39, age may also be on his side as he bids for his first British Open title.

Five of the past six winners have been 39 or older and so what better time and place for Kuchar, who has won $40 million on tour, to shed his tag as highest earner without a major.
