McIlroy: Scottish Open 'feels like home' and 'perfect' prep for The Open

Rory McIlroy believes the Genesis Scottish Open is the "perfect" preparation for The Open and should be used as a "blueprint" in incorporating national opens into the new PGA Tour schedule.

McIlroy returns to the event - co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour - for a fifth time in six seasons, with 15 of the world's top 20 in action at The Renaissance Club ahead of The Open next week at Royal Birkdale.
