The 151st edition of the Open Championship is ready to take place at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club this week. The talk of the town is whether or not Rory McIlroy can finally put an end to his nearly 9 year major drought.
Fresh off winning the Scottish Open last weekend, and a 2nd place finish at the 2022 Masters, McIlroy has as good a shot as any to hoist the Claret Jug when all is said and done. In fact, the last time he won the Open Championship was back in 2014 when the event was hosted at Royal Liverpool.
McIlroy will be joined on the links by Masters champion Jon Rahm and former world number 1 golfer Justin Rose. Here’s how the first two rounds will shape up.
