Rory Mcilroy Irish teenage golf sensation

Rory McIlroy the Irish teenage golfing amateur has made a fairytale start to the British Open on Thursday with a 68 that left even Tiger Woods behind.
The 18-year-old Irishman from Holywood in county Down, is the youngest player in the tournament, playing on what many consider the toughest course on the Open rotation.
Rory McIlroy had a bogie free round and three birdies, now stands tied for third, three strokes behind first round leader Sergio Garcia.
Rory McIlroy is a six-handicapper, said "I was very nervous the first few holes, but when I birdied the fifth, I got in my stride and I got going there and played some really solid golf. Overall this was a really good day. I soaked up the atmosphere."
Cheering him on was a large contingent of supporters from his home golf course in Holywood, a par-69 that Rory says "is not much of a test for me anymore."
