McIlroy sets the pace in Open 1st round
July 15th, 2010 by Doogs
Currently watching the first round of the British Open which is now underway at St Andrews on the Old Course, golfs mecca. Have been lucky enough to play there twice, and for a golfer it is truly a religious experience.
If I went around 18 holes with a score that was three times my age Id probably give the game away for a while! Rory McIlroy did just that today in the first round of the British Open at St Andrews, but he is only 21 and shot a remarkable 63. Other notable mentions include twitter favourite, John Daley on 6 under, and Tiger doing nicely on -5. Woods opened with a 66 at St Andrews in 2005 and went on to win comfortably, a lot has happened since then!
The early starters have had the better of the conditions, with afternoon winds likely to restrict the low scoring.
