Rory McIlroy had a frustrating first round at the Open yesterday (Thursday).

The Holywood star found it tough going at Royal St George's in the windy conditions - and he finished Day 1 on level par - six shots behind leader Louis Oosthuizen.

Meanwhile, defending champion Shane Lowry and 2011 winner Darren Clarke finished the day, +1.
