Rory Mroy https colon www.espn.com/golf/ory ESPN.com/golf/ Rory Mroy had a challenging opening round at the Irish Open, boging two of his three last holes and finishing at one under 71. A world number two, Mroy drew the largest crowds at the K club, aiming to refine his game weeks before the Ryder Cup at Beth Page Black, where he’ll likely be Europe’s key player again. His performance highlighted his ability to stay competitive despite early struggles, though his final round underdog run hurt him. Game feels pretty good, Mroy said, emphasizing efficiency rather than the score. He admitted missing the green at holes seven and eight and not getting up and down for par with other topranked players leading at the table, including Nacho Alvivera, Thorbjuran Olison, and Roma Langask, Ireland’s lead over Burned Whisberger, Daniel Brown, and Adrien Sadier was one shot ahead. Shane Lowry, another member of Europe’s RDER Cup team, was playing in front of his home crowd and birdied three of his six last holes, shooting 69. Nine.
