McIlroy finds his groove in Killarney

Rory McIlroy bounced straight back from his disappointing Open Championship by taking the early lead at the Irish Open in Killarney today.

The 22-year-old, playing his first tournament on home soil since his incredible eight-shot US Open victory in June, birdied the fourth, sixth, eighth and 10th holes to be two clear of the field at four-under-par.
