Rory McIlroy had a rough end to his first round in his return to Ireland, bogeying two of the last three holes at the Amgen Irish Open following a slow play warning that he said later was due to massive crowds following the Masters champion.
McIlroy shot 1-under-par 71 at the K Club outside of Dublin to stand five shots behind first-round leader Nacho Elvira at the DP World Tour event.
