Rory McIlroy, tied for lead at Scottish Open, laughs about 'stupidly' planned haircut
Of course, it doesn't always work out. Rory McIlroy learned this the hard way ahead of this week's Genesis Scottish Open. The co-leader after 54 holes showed up to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland with a brand new buzzcut.
The idea behind the new do was to hide much of the gray hair that populates his head. That's, uh, not what happened.
Oh, Rory. Of course that wasn't going to work. The buzzcut only makes the gray hairs stronger.
This is exactly the type of half measure you should Google before going ahead with. Fortunately, it's rare to see McIlroy without a hat on, so it's not like he has to walk around in complete shame. And when he's not wearing a cap, the Masters champion can pop on that green jacket and completely distract from his hair.

The American League has dominated the event, winning 10 of the last 11 games and 19 of 24 since 2000, but a check of the Fanatics Sportsbook app — one of the nation's leading sports betting apps — lists the NL as a slight -115 favorite.

The Open Championship takes center stage early Thursday morning at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

British Open Round 1 tee times: Will weather be better for early wave or late wave?
Only two players have better than 10-1 odds to win the British Open — or is it The Open or The Open Championship? Whatever you want to call it, the favorites are, as expected, Scottie Scheffler (+500) and Rory McIlroy (+700). If weather is a factor, one of them could have an advantage depending on when it's better, as Scheffler will go out early on Thursday, McIlroy later (and vice versa on Friday). Currently, the forecast for Thursday's Round 1 is rain in the morning, rain in the afternoon, with wind blowing just a bit throughout the day. Advertisement Round 1 of the 153rd Open Championship begins at 1:35 a.m. ET Thursday morning.
