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.

It's becoming a tradition unlike any other. Golf Twitter roasting a top golfer's haircut during a major. Scottie Scheffler got the brutal treatment last month when he got a fresh cut at Pinehurst on the eve of the U.S. Open that showed off his golfer's tan. Before that, who could forget Jordan Spieth at the 2018 British Open and Rickie Fowler at the 2016 Olympics.

Bryson DeChambeau said earlier this week that the back nine at Royal Troon had some teeth. The front nine seemed to take that personally. DeChambeau, who just a few weeks ago won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, put himself well off the pace Thursday morning at The Open by going out in 6-over 42 with four bogeys, a double bogey and no birdies. He hit just three of Royal Troon’s greens and four fairways, battling a two-way miss in a wind that was the complete opposite of the forecast, coming in and off the right for the usually easier starting stretch.

Quick little summary here from Rory about the start to the Open. It's been brutal out there. I love every moment of it. The Open isn't supposed to be easy. You see those bunkers?
