1 week agoThe Open: Rory McIlroy moving along nicely as Shane Lowry signs off with a 70 at Royal Portrush
The par five seventh hole saw three groups waiting at once, causing delays that can be detrimental to the players' performance. Rory's shot veered left into thick foliage, making it impossible for him to reach the green in two shots. However, his second attempt fared better; it took a fortunate bounce in the thick stuff and returned towards the semi-rough, allowing for a more manageable next shot despite still being hidden from view.
