The Open: Rory McIlroy signs off with 70 to join Shane Lowry on one-under at Royal Portrush
Briefly

The performance included a three-under through ten holes, but there were challenges in the middle of the round. The player felt immense support from the country and recognized the significance of maintaining momentum during the game, notably with a crucial putt on hole fifteen. Having previously competed, the player was more prepared this time and found himself in a better position to deal with expectations and circumstances, particularly the windy conditions that emerged late in the round.
It was a big putt, especially having bogeyed three of the last four at that point. It was a huge putt to keep the momentum I had and then playing the last three holes under par was great.
Absolutely incredible. I feel the support of the entire country out there which is an incredible position to be in but you also don't want to let them down.
