A frustrated Rory McIlroy struggled to a seven-over 78, hampering his bid for a second Open title on a wet and windy opening morning at Royal Troon.

World number two Rory McIlroy finished 10 shots behind American Justin Thomas, who set the clubhouse lead at three under by sinking a 25-foot putt on the final hole.

Justin Rose of England, who qualified for the tournament, ended with 11 straight pars to stay one shot behind the leader at two under.

Joining him at two under are European Ryder Cup players Alex Noren and Nicolai Hojgaard, along with American Russell Henley.
