McIlroy (68) trails Clements by 2 at Irish Open

Rory McIlroy capped a rollercoaster season with a share of the lead at the RBC Canadian Open, but has now trailed by two shots after the first round of the Irish Open.

The Northern Irishman endured a mixed campaign, winning three times on the PGA Tour but enduring disappointments.

Despite finishing in the top 10 in just one of his last five starts, McIlroy remains optimistic about finishing the season strongly.

“It’s been a bit of a mixed bag this season,” McIlroy said. “I’ve had some great wins, but I’ve also had some frustrating moments. I’m hoping to finish the season strongly and give myself a chance to win the FedEx Cup.”

McIlroy regained form with a birdie at the 18th hole in Canada to share the lead with American Wyndham Clark. However, he trails amateur John Murphy by two strokes after shooting a 68 at the Irish Open.
