McIlroy carded a five-under-par 65 at the Renaissance Club to lie a shot off the clubhouse lead shared by Max Kieffer and Li Haotong.
Rory McIlroy bounced back from his US Open heartbreak to make a strong start to the defence of his title in the £7million Genesis Scottish Open.
The world number two chipped in for an eagle on the third hole, his 12th of the day, and also recorded five birdies, but missed good chances on three of his last five holes.“I hit a couple of shots over the first few holes that I haven’t seen in practice over the last 10 days so it was a bit of a reminder that golf isn’t as easy as sometimes I think it is,” McIlroy said with a smile.
“I gave myself plenty of chances on that back nine and actually felt like I left a couple out there as well. Overall a good start, especially after the scrappy start over the first six or seven holes.”
