2024 British Open scores: Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau shockingly eject early coming off strong U.S. Opens

Rory McIlroy needed to press Friday afternoon at The Open. Unfortunately for McIlroy, he’s already pressed the eject button. After an opening-round 78, McIlroy started his second round in gusty conditions at Royal Troon with back-to-back pars. He then bogeyed the par-4 third hole before a disastrous triple bogey at the par-5 fourth that dropped him to 11 over, a whopping six shots back of the projected cut line.

Perhaps the biggest storyline heading into The Open Championship, which began on Thursday morning, is the looming drought in majors for star PGA Tour golfer Rory McIlroy.

TROON, Scotland — Tiger Woods appears well on his way to missing his third consecutive cut in a major championship.

Woods, 48, struggled through an 8-over 79 in Thursday’s British Open first round at Royal Troon, the site of his first Open as a professional in 1997.

Woods, who’s played in only five PGA Tour events this year, is seemingly finished with tournament play until December after this week, expected to play the Hero World Challenge, which he hosts in the Bahamas.

Tiger Woods’ British Open implosion has him staring down harsh reality

Although Rory McIlroy has tried to put his infamous collapse at the U.S. Open behind him, those once close to the golfer are now shedding light into the situation — which may have been related to his then-ongoing divorce dispute.

McIlroy’s former agent, Andrew “Chubby” Chandler, speculated that the golfer may not have been entirely focused on the links.

“Looking from the outside, and I haven’t seen Rory for a couple of years, but to me it looks like his life is messy,” Chandler told the Daily Mail. “You know what it’s like as a sportsman, you have to have total focus...
