McIlroy pleased with patient start

Rory McIlroy admits he has had "about four" hangovers since his runaway US Open victory, but he will not be adding his slow start to the Open to the list.

After three weeks out enjoying his success and then preparing for golf's next major the 22-year-old Irishman, given a huge ovation when his name was called to tee off, fell to two-over-par after only three holes.
