Rory McIlroy has started on fire this morning. A lovely iron shot to 10ft at the par-three 12th, which he rolls in for his second birdie in three holes.

Perhaps his sleeker look will lead to cooler play over the course of the four rounds at The Open Championship later this month.

The second round of the Genesis Scottish Open is set to begin on Friday, after four players all share the lead after carding opening rounds of 64.

McIlroy enters this tournament more refreshed.

"I definitely finished the round better than I started it," said McIlroy, who closed the first round with three consecutive birdies and is 2-under going to Friday.
