Rory McIlroy entered the clubhouse following his first-round 67 at Winged Foot Golf Club on Thursday knowing he took advantage of a course that wouldn't remain so tame all weekend.

"I wouldn't call it scoreable by any stretch of the imagination," McIlroy told reporters after his first round. "There's a couple of guys that have went a little lower than maybe was expected, but it's not as if the rest of the field are finding it that easy.
