## Resource

Rory McIlroy blasted off the Genesis Scottish Open with a scorching five-under 65, fueled by three par-five birdies including an eagle on the first hole, tying for the lead with Patrick Cantlay, Tom Kim, and Bernd Wiesberger. Cantlay, quietly rebuilding his game, matched McIlroy’s score with five early birdies and clutch par saves, even tweaking his putter for slower greens—a move that’s clearly working. With The Open Championship looming at Royal Birkdale, this Scottish Open is a crucial tune-up and last-chance qualifier. Brooks Koepka lurks just one shot back, battling putting woes but showing resilience, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is set to join the fray later. Perfect summer weather and a links-like course set the stage for a thrilling weekend as golfers gear up for the final major of the year.
