Rory McIlroy Round 1 Highlights | 2024 Genesis Scottish Open

Highlights of Rory McIlroy's opening round 65 at the Genesis Scottish Open.


The Rolex Series returns to the DP World Tour as The Renaissance Club hosts the Genesis Scottish Open. This year is the third time this event has been co-sanctioned with the PGA TOUR as 75 players from both tours will compete. Rory McIlroy returns to defend his title and make his first appearance since his runner-up finish at the U.S. Open. McIlroy the claimed Hero Dubai Desert Classic earlier this year and was victorious in the Wells Fargo Championship on the PGA Tour in May. Since then, he hasn't finished worse than tied 15th, which includes a tied 12th at the US PGA Championship and the solo second finish at Pinehurst. Tommy Fleetwood will also be teeing it up in Scotland. Across his last four starts in this event, the world number 11 has finished in the top ten on three occasions and missed out on victory in a play-off against Aaron Rai in 2020. He also claimed 3T at the Masters and has been no worse than a tie for 26th in his last six starts. Ludvig Åberg is in the field this week. The Swede brilliantly claimed 2T on his Masters debut in April and played well for a 12T finish at the US Open three weeks ago. Others to look out for include Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland.

He is the defending champion 🤔 and I could watch Rory all day, everyday ❤️⛳️

I do feel that once he breaks this Major drought he will then go on to win several more. It can only be a psychological block, because his game outside of the majors is first class.

Nice to see he is in the hunt. One of my favorite pro golfer.

You really turned things around Mr. McIIroy, nice precision from tough locations in the rough and
from bunkers, that course looks like a real challenge. Your an Amazing Player Sir. !! @GolfDigest

The best player to watch bar none. Also he's a very humble and honest guy who represents his chosen sport so well and is loved and respected worldwide apart from the little YouTube keyboard warriors! 🙈😭

2nd at the U.S. is a great result. No shame at all. Rory has already won 2 tournaments this year and I could see him winning this week or next AGAIN! A true champion with a champion's heart. Jack Nicholas with 18 majors had 29 2nd place finishes! It helps to keep things in proper perspective.

Great round, what a legend of the game.

[Kedbuka]

What a player. The guy is an amazing talent. He also seems like a very cool person.

[powshredder]

beautiful day for play LOL caddy is wearing a beanie while it's summer time here.

[prestonbacchus]

He made some putts but he could have been at -8 with a little luck.^ Still, he is in a good spot.

[thecount]

i take it this is a mint summer day in Scotland?

[deantaylor]

Despite what happened at Pinehurst, Rory has learnt how to putt a bit and it’s very encouraging.

[leestockdill]

Didnt hit a good shot for 5 holes and still finish 5 under 😂
