Rory McIlroy has shrugged off his Open Championship heartbreak, and says the positive memories of St Andrews far outweigh what happened in July.

Rory McIlroy had a second round to forget at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship as he tumbled down the leaderboard in appalling weather conditions. An opening round of 68 put the world No.2 in a strong position on Thursday, but he finished three over par on a wet and windy day at Kingsbarns to go one under overall in joint-43rd place. Ad A shotgun 8.30am start on all three courses for all competitors was ordered due to the adverse weather conditions, which pushed the players to their limits.
England's Richard Mansell holds a two-shot lead at the midway point, as Padraig Harrington battled his way into the top 10 in appalling weather conditions on Round 2 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.

Rory McIlroy made a solid start to the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, as Romain Langasque set the pace with a stunning opening round. Opening his week at Carnoustie, historically the toughest of the three tracks, McIlroy made six birdies in a round of 68. Ad It could have been better, but he paid the price for a couple of mistakes — notably a wayward tee shot on his final hole which resulted in a second bogey of the round.
Rory McIlroy feels a home Ryder Cup in Italy is the perfect stage for an overhaul of the European team. European stalwarts Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Paul Casey are unlikely to be eligible following their moves to LIV Golf. Ad McIlroy is set to line up alongside familiar faces Jon Rahm, Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood, but there could be a host of rookies such as Robert MacIntrye, Rasmus Hojgaard and his brother Nicolai in the mix.
Rory McIlroy on Wednesday said golf is «ripping itself apart» as tensions between the PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf continue to divide the sport.
