"It's really cool, I think everyone knows what Seve means to European golf, to Ryder cup players," a visibly emotional McIlroy said. Both McIlroy and Hojgaard bogeyed the opening hole but the Northern Irishman followed that with four consecutive birdies before another bogey on the ninth left McIlroy with a one-shot lead heading into the back nine.
McIlroy, who lost the U.S. Open in June to Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke, had already won three trophies across the PGA and European Tours in 2024, the Dubai Desert Classic, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside Lowry and the Wells Fargo Championship.
