PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – Rory McIlroy’s last two tee shots on Royal Portrush’s opening hole have sailed out of bounds.
McIlroy blew his tee ball past the out-of-bounds stakes on the right during Wednesday’s practice round, and in the first round here his 2-iron rode the wind and required a reload.
“That might have been in my head a little bit,” he said.
It’s an unusual setup, with out of bounds just a few steps off both sides of the fairway on the opening hole.
