ClutchPoints

A dejected Rory McIlroy effectively ruled out his chances of contending for the 152nd Open Championship after posting a disappointing opening round of 78 at Royal Troon. Shane Lowry surged to the top of the leaderboard at five under par, taking advantage of the calmer late afternoon conditions at Royal Troon. In contrast, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau had a rough start, with McIlroy carding a seven-over-par 78 and Woods shooting a 79.

Rory McIlroy gets 100% real after disheartening start

Shane Lowry shot to the top of the leaderboard at five under par as Rory McIlroy was among the big names to struggle on day one of the 152nd British Open at Royal Troon. World number four Ludvig Aberg was another of the big names to falter in his first ever round at a British Open with a four-over round of 75.

Lowry leads as McIlroy, Woods suffer nightmare start at the British Open

Royal Troon provided the most difficult opening round at The Open Championship since the 2013 of the tournament, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that a man like Shane Lowry sits near the top of the leaderboard after 18 holes of play. Carding a bogey-free 66, the 2019 champion clipped the course scoring average at Royal Troon by more than eight strokes and positioned himself one shot behind shocking leader Daniel Brown (-6). Both stand in front of notable names like Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler.
