PGA: While Rory McIllroy made a positive start to the Scottish Open, while Ludvig Adberg somehow landed on an opponent's ball, sending both flying from the green.
Two-time major champion Justin Thomas was annoyed with himself after he missed the chance to make golf history on Thursday even though he carded a superb bogey-free round of 62 to establish a one-shot lead on the first day of the Scottish Open.
“But it’s always good to get off to a good start, and even better to get off to a great one. I felt like I was in great control of everything.” Aberg was at the centre of attention on the eighth hole when his shot landed directly onto a ball that was on the green. This was McIlroy’s first tournament since his agonising finish at last month’s US Open, where the 35-year-old Northern Irishman missed out on a fifth major title after a dramatic collapse on the closing holes at Pinehurst, North Carolina.
