McIlroy not phased by two-over start at The Open

I drove the ball incredibly well. You know I took the golf course on off the tee and you know with the obviously with the positions that I put myself in off the tee I feel like I obviously I should have shot a better score. Played the hard holes well you know birdie 13, 15 and 18 on the back. You know the two bogeys on the par fives wasn't great and then yeah I just sort of I struggled the first few holes to get the the speed of the greens. Felt like they were very inconsistent. I felt like I learned quite a bit today about how the golf course is playing, how the ball's reacting out of the first cut of rough. Definitely when it gets that burnt and that that dry it can sort of do some weird things. Well I feel like it exaggerates the spin quite a lot if you're hitting a draw or hitting a fade it seems to exaggerate the spin on the ball a lot. Happened to me a few times out there but yeah I don't like I'm not going to go back to the house and analyze it too much tonight. If you look at the discrepancy between the scoring this morning and the scoring this afternoon it looks like that's going to be flipped tomorrow with the conditions again so you know hopefully I can take advantage of the more benign conditions in the morning and as I said shoot one under par and get back in it.
