Rory McIlroy looks back at 2014 Open victory ahead of Royal Troon
Last Updated: 10/07/16 9:16pm
Rory McIlroy is looking forward to making his first appearance at The Open this week since lifting the Claret Jug at Royal Liverpool.
The world No 4 missed last year's tournament through injury, but has fond memories of the third major of the year having claimed a two-shot win over Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia in 2014.
McIlroy followed a bogey-free 66 by posting the same score in round two to head into the weekend with a four-stroke cushion over the chasing pack in Merseyside.
The Northern Irishman raced six ahead thanks to a third-round 68, before a steady 71 on Sunday was enough to hand McIlroy his third of four major titles.
McIlroy would follow Open victory with another triumph at the WGC-Bridgestone a fortnight later to move to world No 1, before securing back-to-back major titles with a one-shot win at the PGA Championship the following month.
