HOYLAKE: Rory McIlroy needs no reminding of the pitfalls that have prevented him claiming a long-awaited fifth major and his opening round at the 151st Open on Thursday could easily have left his hopes on the rocks once again.
But he endured a frustrating day with his driver a little off and putts refusing to drop and at the 18th he faced a crisis when he left a bunker escape in the sand before playing a remarkable second attempt from a horrible stance. "I wouldn't have been too happy walking off the 18th with a bogey, especially after the two shots I hit in there," McIlroy, who missed a sitter to bogey the eighth and was two-over after 12 holes as the wind picked up, told reporters.
McIlroy came close to winning last year's Open when he led into the final day only to be reeled in by Cameron Smith.
