Soaked Scheffler battles elements to make solid British Open start
World number one Scottie Scheffler blamed wild weather conditions for his wayward driving, but the American still shot a three-under-par first round at the British Open to sit one shot off the lead on Thursday. Scheffler, playing alongside former Claret Jug winners Shane Lowry and Collin Morikawa, got caught in torrential rain midway through his opening round at Royal Portrush. Scheffler only hit three fairways off the tee, but as the skies cleared, he produced two stunning approach shots to birdie the 16th and 17th and card a 68 to remain well in contention for his first British Open victory. "When it's raining sideways, it's actually, believe it or not, not that easy to get the ball in the fairway. Thank you guys all for pointing that out," Scheffler told reporters. "Really only had one swing I wasn't too happy with on maybe the second hole, but outside of that, I felt like I hit a lot of good tee shots, hit the ball really solid, so definitely a good bit of confidence for the next couple rounds." Scheffler made headlines on the eve of the tournament when he said his life was "not a fulfilling" one despite his status at the top of the sport. The 29-year-old said the "euphoric feeling" from winning a golf tournament lasts barely a few minutes before he moves onto his next target. Scheffler said he has received nothing but support from the rest of the field over his comments. "At times I feel like maybe I should be a little less honest. Maybe I shouldn't have said the stuff I said yesterday because now I'm going to get asked about it more," he added. "But really it's just a matter of perspective, and I've had some players come up to me and say that they feel and think the same things. "If anybody has disagreed with me, they haven't said it to my face." kca/mw

British Open Round 1 leaderboard: Scottie Scheffler makes late run; Rory McIlroy right with him
The final major of the golf season is underway. Is it too soon? That's the question Jay Busbee asked earlier this week, but regardless, it's here in the form of the 153rd British Open. This year's host is Royal Portrush, the only course in all of Ireland to ever host The Open. That instantly made Rory McIlroy the overwhelming favorite for fans outside the ropes. The last time Portrush hosted the event, in 2019, McIlroy famously hit his drive on the very first hole out of bounds, leading to a quadruple bogey eight and, eventually, an early exit from the tournament before the weekend began. Fellow countryman Shane Lowry went on to win the tournament, so Ireland did get to celebrate. Now McIlroy is back, as the second favorite behind only world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. And he bogeyed the first hole this time around, so he's already off to a better start. Scheffler started in the early wave and, despite a few early hiccups, has put himself smack in contention thanks to two birdies in his final three holes. A 3-under 68 put him just one shot back of the leaders when he hit the clubhouse. But, as the afternoon wave got going, the group at the top ballooned to six. We've made our picks to win, which you can find here. You can watch the tournament on USA Network, where coverage goes from 4 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET.
