McIlroy hopes to put US Open loss in past when he tees off in Scotland
Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland watches his chip shot during a practice round ahead of the British Open Golf Championships at Royal Troon golf club in Troon, Scotland, July 16, 2024

RORY McILROY will look to put his latest major near miss behind him when he tees off in the Open at Royal Troon tomorrow morning.

The Northern Irishman, who faltered over the final few holes in last month’s US Open at Pinehurst to allow Bryson DeChambeau to win, will continue his quest for a first major victory in a decade at 10.09am alongside Ryder Cup team-mate Tyrrell Hatton and American Max Homa.

McIlroy won the last of his four majors at the 2014 US PGA Championship, a month after lifting the Claret Jug at Royal Liverpool and since then his record at the Open has brought five top-six finishes in seven outings.
