What time do Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry tee off at The Open today? Day two start times and latest leaderboard from Portrush
McIlroy, the home favourite, has realised that dream once before - in 2014, at Royal Liverpool.
Now, McIlroy is trying to double his major money this calendar year and follow up his memorable Green Jacket victory at the Masters back in April.
The first day saw McIlroy move himself into title contention as he put on a show for the thousands of fans who cheered his every move.
Whilst far from his best off the tee, McIlroy certainly made up for it on the greens, three birdies on his front nine leaving him just two shots off the lead heading into the second day.
When is Rory McIlroy playing at The Open?
McIlroy will tee off at 10.09am BST this morning, Friday July 18, 2025 in his Open second round. He will be joined by Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Thomas.

Major Ryder Cup rule change as Team Europe captain Luke Donald gives approval to USA request to avoid ‘bad blood'
LUKE DONALD has agreed to lift the gagging order on Ryder Cup vice-captains - easing the way for opposite number Keegan Bradley to become a player captain. That is another sign that Europe fancy their chances of becoming the first team to win away from home since they pulled off the Miracle at Medinah 13 years ago if Bradley takes on a dual role. Advertisement 3 Luke Donald has approved a Ryder Cup rule change Credit: Getty 3 Keegan Bradley could become a player captain Credit: AP Vice captains are banned from handing out advice or making contact with players during matches under the existing rules. But European captain European insiders have said Donald gave his approval to the American request because he did not want any 'bad blood' between the teams, before they clash at New York's Bethpage Black cauldron in September. But privately Donald and his team hope Bradley might take his eye off the ball, while juggling his duties as the Ryder Cup's first player-captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963. Advertisement READ MORE IN GOLF Bradley had originally said he would only play if he was one of the six USA players to qualify automatically. He insisted he would not be one of his six captain's picks. But his stellar form over the last couple of years has seen him climb to seventh in the world rankings. And even though he slipped from ninth to tenth on the American Ryder Cup list after finishing in a tie for 30th place at the Open, he clearly feels he is playing too well to simply stand aside. Bradley has also confirmed LIV star Advertisement Most read in Golf BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK DeChambeau is currently fifth on the points list despite playing a limited schedule. But he will not feature in any more qualifying events because of his LIV duties, and some of his rivals could leapfrog him during the FedEx Cup play-offs. Bryson DeChambeau reveals he used to beat Scottie Scheffler for fun as world No1 chases Open glory Bradley told Sports Illustrated: "Bryson is going to be a very important piece to us winning the Ryder Cup. He brings so much.

Tommy Fleetwood's £120k Open prize money sent to the wrong person
Tommy Fleetwood, the English golfer, didn't receive his £120,000 prize money after finishing T12 at The Open Championship in 2018. At 34, he's still hunting for his first major, having secured a T16 at Royal Portrush just last week. Despite not being a serious contender, he managed to score a seven-under par, while Scottie Scheffler dominated from the start and clinched his first Claret Jug by a four-shot lead. Fleetwood has had close calls at the Open before, notably finishing as runner-up in 2019. This means the tournament has significantly boosted his impressive career earnings of £23.1million. Yet, the popular Southport-born golfer was once left scratching his head following the Open at Carnoustie after his winnings were accidentally transferred to an American man with the name Thomas Fleetwood. Thomas Fleetwood, a club professional based at Streamstrong Resort in Florida, was born in 1959 and contested the European Senior Tour's qualifying school four times from 2013. Fleetwood, who is also a caddie, told Reuters he had been trying to get in touch with the Englishman. He said: "It was an honest mistake. I tried to get on their senior tour, so they have my [bank] information." The PGA Tour star himself was left more confused than annoyed by the error, as he said: "It looks pretty genuine. They [the European Tour] are looking into it and I'm sure they'll feel pretty bad about it. (Image: Getty Images) "It's a funny story. It's just something I don't really look at but I'll get on top of that." Greg Thorner, who posted the screenshot of his friend Thomas' bank account, said: "He played a few European events so the European Tour obviously had some information on him and it must have got mixed up. "I didn't believe him at first but then I watched him log into his account and I was like 'Holy crap'. He was not positive it was the same amount that Tommy won at the Open but we checked and it was. "He immediately contacted the bank and told them you've put money into my account that's not mine and unfortunately the money has already been taken out." The European Tour, now the DP World Tour, said at the time: "This was a clerical error which we are resolving and we apologise for the inconvenience caused to both parties." Fleetwood is set to receive £137,535 for his latest efforts at the Open. He will hope to receive his money without any surprises along the way this time around.
