June 21, 2025; Cromwell, Connecticut, USA; During the third round of the Travelers Championship Golf Tournament, Rory McLaroy played her shot from the 18th T. Compulsory Credit: Bill Stretcher-Emagan Picture Rory McLero shot a course record 61, as 16 -year -old in 2005 of the Ireland Amateur Championship at Royal Portrash. यह रीडिज़ाइन से पहले पुराना कोर्स था। This is a course that he now recognizes only some parts.
And as Northern Irishman returns to the Royal Portrash and Open Championship this week, he is also a changed man.
He is ready to accept and embrace the pressure that comes from being a favorite son, something that he admitted that the open was last played in the Royal Portrash six years ago.
“This is a major championship, everything that comes with it, and I think it is feeling, walking for first T and then that ovation, I was still a little surprised and a little surprised, like the Giz, these people really want to win me,” I think I give myself nothing. दिन या उस सप्ताह।
Now, at the age of 36 and with the Masters Championship this year, he is ready to take all this.
“I think I probably tried to isolate in 19, and I think it’s better for everyone if I embrace it. I think it’s better for me because I can do – it is capable of accepting the ordinance, even if I struggle with it many times,” he said. “But it is also good for the person who is watching you for the first time in a few years. It makes it just for a better conversation and does not try to hide away from it.
“I think it’s all that is going to come in my way this week and is not trying to hide or hide away from it, and I think there will be a better experience for everyone involved.”
He is coming from a good experience, shooting four rounds in the 60s and finished second in the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday.
He said, “I am definitely encouraged how I have made the last two starts, especially in Scotland last week,” he said. “I think passengers just have a two -week holiday to reset, to go here, a little change of scenes has been really good.
“When I was looking at the calendar for 2025, it was the tournament that was probably, I do not know, more than the masters for different reasons.
“I am excited by my game where I have a game. I felt as if I showed some good signs last week. I think I am in a good place and not – it was not that there was a net preparation week last week, but I definitely feel that it is putting me in a good place.”
With his masters win this year, Mcilroy owns a career Grand Slam. उन्होंने 2014 में रॉयल लिवरपूल में ओपन जीता।
And he would definitely like to add 2025 championships to his collection. विशेष रूप से रॉयल पोर्ट्रश पर।
He said, “It does not seem that six years have passed since 2019. I think it is surprising that Portrash has this opportunity immediately after the last open to host again.”
“The bus is very good to come back. I do not spend a lot of time with the journey program, staying abroad, all the goods in these parts. To be here, to see a lot of familiar faces, even something – even in every hole of the course, there is a separate team of marshalas from different golf clubs, and just to see those I was fulfilled in the whole years.
“It is really good to come back, and is very excited for the week clearly.”
