The Northern Irishman is six shots off the pace after the opening round.
Rory McIlroy had mixed emotions after shooting a one-under par 71 in the opening round of the 2024 US Masters.
“It’s satisfying in one sense because it’s a decent start compared to the way I’ve played here recently, but I felt like it could have been two or three better,” said grand-slam-hunting McIlroy.“I think after the slow start making a few birdies around the turn was good. A little wasteful coming in. I had a good chance for birdie on 15 in the middle of the fairway and didn’t take that.
“I’m definitely not out of the tournament and not chasing anything tomorrow. I’m playing with Scottie so can keep an eye on what he’s doing and I’m looking forward to getting back out there.
