Poor finish. Bogeys on 17 and 18th but -1 a decent start

Ideal opening round despite the finish

He could use a better fitting cap! Saw it blow off twice yesterday mid swing!

Rory's wedge play letting him down again. The one part of his game which is dreadful for an elite player. To hit the ball 15 yards long from 130 yards is costing him with 3 bogeys in a row

testtech05 · 19-06-2026 11:04PM

Must be so infuriating when he is driving the ball well to be messing up wedge shots and then after 3 bad ones in a row he stitched one to the flag

Mantis Toboggan · 20-06-2026 08:40PM

Superb putt for birdie

Mushy · 20-06-2026 08:41PM

FFew more now and see what happens

Mantis Toboggan · 20-06-2026 08:49PM

You just have to love him, 3 birds in a row and right back in this tournament.

DellyBelly · 20-06-2026 10:30PM

Thats a terrible bogey...

Barnaboy · 20-06-2026 10:31PM

And sadly he has now given it all back. Shocking 3 putt just there.

Firstsub · 20-06-2026 10:37PM

Rory after throwing away the tournament. Taking 5 to get down from the middle of the fairway 135 yards from the hole yesterday was shocking. Just giving away shots at the moment through sloppy play

DellyBelly · 20-06-2026 10:48PM

Another bogey..so careless

testtech05 · 20-06-2026 10:50PM

Looks like the back 9 is putting paid to Rory chances for this week. Just as Scottie looks like making ominous moves for everyone else

I'm glad I'm not watching this, watching Germany v Ivory Coast. I'm following the leaderboard though. It seems very frustrating, I can only imagine how Rory is feeling.

Kiith · 20-06-2026 11:34PM

Gone long on so many greens today. Shocking wedge play.

Barnaboy · 20-06-2026 11:35PM

As a big Rory fan, desperately disappointed. Another shot gone on 18. 120yds to flag for second shot, airmails the green and walks off with fifth bogey of the 9.

After 8 holes today, he was third. Not even in top 20 now. Another pointless 66 coming tomorrow and he will be half way back to Florida while the business end is happening.

techdiver · 21-06-2026 01:52AM

He's clearly off his game. Which in some ways makes it all the more impressive that he is constantly in the conversation even when this is the case.

pointer28 · 21-06-2026 07:36AM

Well said Techdiver.

I only wish I were as bad. 🤣

Smoke and mirrors front 9 with unreal lag putting was way off with his irons Sat and Sunday. Even his chipping has left him down. These won him the Masters 2 months ago. He looked defensive over everything except driver. He has done well to even be +3.

If he can reset and and somehow get to -2 it won't be far off. Everyone within 5 shots of second has to assume Clark could collapse. Someone at +2 or 3 teeing off 2 hours before the leaders could make a run at Scheffler easily. That has to be the target in case Clark pukes up.

cosatron · 21-06-2026 01:04PM

I would just happy if doesn'the fly the green on the 10th again. Both rounds unravelled at the 10th

AlanWatts · 21-06-2026 05:53PM

Christ all the best wedge players flight it why does he keep doing the same full out wedge swing. He's crazy really.

Barnaboy · 21-06-2026 07:38PM

+9 for his last 18 holes. Ouch.
