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.

Royal Troon’s par-4 11th hole, nicknamed “The Railway,” has historically been one of the most difficult holes in the Open Championship rota. Shane Lowry can now attest. Lowry’s second round, perhaps fittingly, got off the rails at No. 11 on Friday as Lowry saw his two-shot lead evaporate after a long and crazy sequence that involved a cameraman, a yanked shot into the gorse, a provisional that was later negated and ultimately, a double bogey.
