Summary
Rory McIlroy’s Open Championship debut was a rollercoaster of frustration and flashes of brilliance, as he shot a two-over 72 and plummeted to seven shots behind surprise leader Jackson Suber. His putting woes were brutal—three short putts missed in four holes—and his normally stoic demeanor cracked under pressure, including a bunker mishap and a missed par putt. Despite a dramatic birdie on the final hole, he barely cracked a smile, finishing 148th in putting. This marks his sixth event since his second Masters win, and with a win here, he’d tie Harry Vardon for most majors by a European. The path to glory? It’s steep—and McIlroy’s got work to do.
