McIlroy makes sluggish start as DeChambeau chases Suber at The Open

Bryson DeChambeau and defending champion Scottie Scheffler both made encouraging starts to The 154th Open, as Rory McIlroy’s major hopes suffered an early setback.

Jackson Suber marked his Open debut and first visit to Europe by grabbing a shock major lead at Royal Birkdale, with a birdie-eagle run late in his round seeing him post a five-under 65.
