We are not in Pinehurst anymore.
After Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy dueled at the U.S. Open last month, both are off to brutal starts in windy conditions at Royal Troon in the first round of the British Open on Thursday morning.DeChambeau, who has one top-10 in five British Open starts, was feeling confident he could contend heading into the tournament.“It all depends if I’m striking it well. I can come in here with the most confidence, obviously, off of a major championship win. Played decent last week as well.
The Northern Irishman compounded his issues by driving out of bounds near the train tracks on the par-4 11th, leading to another double bogey. McIlroy — playing in his second tournament since his U.S. Open debacle — was 5-over through 12 holes.Out of the last 9 winners of the open only 2 players have had a double bogey throughout the week and went onto win.
