McIlroy, carded four birdies and three bogeys in his lowest opening round since 2018, but ended the day five shots behind playing partner Scottie Scheffler and six adrift of clubhouse leader Bryson DeChambeau.

바카라śIt바카라™s satisfying in one sense because it바카라™s a decent start compared to the way I바카라™ve played here recently, but I felt like it could have been two or three better,바카라ť McIlroy, who is making his 10th attempt to win a green jacket and complete the career grand slam, said.

바카라śI think after the slow start making a few birdies around the turn was good. A little wasteful coming in. I had a good chance for birdie on 15 in the middle of the fairway and didn바카라™t take that.

바카라śMissed a shortish one on 16 and then the bogey on 17. But overall still not a bad score, and obviously a lot of golf left to play.

바카라śI바카라™m definitely not out of the tournament and not chasing anything tomorrow. I바카라™m playing with Scottie so can keep an eye on what he바카라™s doing and I바카라™m looking forward to getting back out there.

바카라śIf you look at Scottie compared to the rest of the field, the amount of bogey-free rounds he shoots is phenomenal, and that바카라™s the secret to winning major championships.

바카라śI made three bogeys today, which is fine out there in these conditions, but just need to tidy it up a little bit to try to keep up with him.바카라ť
