At the moment the players who have lifted the most coveted trophies in golf are Rory McIlroy (Masters), Scottie Scheffler (PGA Championship) and J.J. Spaun (U.S. Open). If I’d told you this was the case back in March then you would have had no issue believing that Rory and Scottie took home majors,

So it's no surprise that a star like Rory McIlroy didn't soften his performance during the first round of the Scottish Open: "It was a scrappy start," he summed it up. It's fair to say that things improved markedly for the Northern Irishman as the day progressed.

Perhaps the most "too soon" joke in "too soon" history. For those keeping track, the Masters took place just four weeks after the Players Championship. To be exact, the Masters Par 3 Contest took place just 23 days after the Monday playoff in Ponte Vedra. McIlroy wasted absolutely zero time. Sheesh.

The reigning Masters champion, Rory McIlroy, cannot escape the trolls as his latest trim has them questioning who the barber was.

Rory McIlroy blitzed Royal Portrush’s Dunluce Links with a course-record 11-under 61 in 2005. For many, it confirmed all the hype about McIlroy.

Speaking ahead of the Scottish Open, McIlroy said that longevity was an “underappreciated” part of an athletic career, and shouted out some fellow sporting veterans such as Novak Djokovic, who just advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals at 38.

Rory McIlroy says he's back to his best after experiencing a lull post-Masters win, and explained he feels like everything is coming together at the right time for a big end to the year
