Although McIlroy opted out of a Tuesday press conference, he did oblige with a chat to The Open crew on the range, with some interesting insights here:
https://twitter.com/TheOpen/status/1681012926583304195 After claiming the Scottish Open, on Sunday, thanks to a birdie-birdie finish that pipped local favourite Bob McIntyre, Rory McIlroy was asked how big of a boost that was, heading into The Open. McIlroy had earlier referred to a 2013 win he had in Australia, when he was a shot behind Adam Scott with two to play. Again, he leaned on that and added: "Yeah, it is. It's nice to have the validation. The validation; it's great racking up top 5s, top 10s, but it's much nicer heading away with a trophy on Sunday afternoon. "It's a great shot of confidence. Again, going back to that little nugget about the Australian Open in 2013, having something fresh in my memory if I hopefully find myself in a similar position next week where I've got a chance to win with nine holes to go, I can certainly draw on what I did here today; that I can get."
