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.
