England's Dan Brown shoots a sensational six-under-par 65 to lead The Open at Royal Troon after round one.

England's Brown leads Open as McIlroy toils at Troon

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.

The British Open holds a special place in Rory McIlroy's heart. The native of Northern Ireland got his start on the European Tour before making it to the PGA Tour, where he holds four majors wins on his resume and three FedEx Cup championships. He has represented Europe on the international stage in the past, so it's understandable why the national open held in his neck of the woods means a little bit more.
