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.

TROON, Scotland – Not everyone was going the wrong way during a torturous second round of The Open. Just ask Joaquin Niemann and Bob MacIntyre. Niemann appeared to torpedo his chances Friday when he made a mess of the Postage Stamp hole with just a wedge in his hand. He found three different bunkers on the 120-yard par 3, then added a three-putt from 30 feet, to walk off with a quintuple-bogey 8.
