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.

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.

Why tee height might decide the 2024 Open Championship winner

Why tee height might decide the 2024 Open Championship winner

Tee height will be a key factor in determining the winner of the 2024 Open Championship. The R&A have announced that the tees at Royal Portrush will be raised for the tournament, which could make it more difficult for players to score.

The change in tee height is designed to make the course more challenging and to prevent players from hitting the ball too far. The R&A believe that this will lead to a more exciting and competitive tournament.

However, some players are concerned that the raised tees will make the course too difficult. They argue that it will make it harder to hit the ball close to the hole, and that it will lead to more bogeys and double bogeys.

The debate over tee height is likely to continue in the lead-up to the 2024 Open Championship. The R&A will be hoping that the changes they have made will lead to a more exciting and challenging tournament, but some players will be hoping that the tees are not raised too high.
