McIlroy could not reproduce his Saturday magic to catch Scottie Scheffler, but he still achieved a level of redemption at his home Open
The Open Championship continued on Saturday at Royal Portrush in Antrim, Northern Ireland as Rory McIlroy and other big name golfers chased leaders Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy found himself tied for 11th on the leaderboard at -5 as the day continued to unwind.
If McIlroy didn’t quite deliver, then Royal Portrush — where he shot 61 as a 16-year-old for the course record — certainly did, gaining widespread rave reviews.
Rory McIlroy climbed the leaderboard Saturday at the 2025 Open Championship thanks in large part to an electric eagle putt on the par-five 12th.
