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.

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.

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.

TROON, Scotland — Shane Lowry has been here before.

Daniel Brown has not.

Brown, shooting a bogey-free 6-under 65, took a one-shot lead over Lowry after the first round of the 152nd British Open at Royal Troon.

Lowry won the 2019 British Open at Royal Portrush and is exempt into the world’s oldest major championship until he’s 60 years old.



Brown is playing in his first career major championship this week because he drained a 20-foot putt on the final hole of the 36-hole Final Qualifying event at West Lancashire on July 2.

The 37-year-old Lowry is ranked 33rd in the world.
