Rory Mcilroy started the title defense in the Truist Championship on Thursday.
The Masters Champion shot 66 with Bogeys in 66 birdies and 11th and 15th holes.
He hit five strokes on the first day of Keith Mitchell in the United States, who finished at 9 o’clock on Thursday.
MITCHELL has set the 61, the lowest 18 -hole score on the PGA Tour.
World No 2 Mcilroy played with Shane Lowry at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and is currently competing as a defensive champion in the True Championship, and in the past, it was the Wells Pagoda Championship before the PGA Championship next week. I called it.

Truist Championship will be held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, Pennsylvania, rather than a quail halo club where the PGA championship will be held next week.
Lowry is tied 7 days after the opening round of 64 Bogey-Free.
MCILROY became the sixth player to complete the Grand Slam last month with a dramatic victory at Masters. He is the sixth largest victory in the PGA Championship with another title victory at this ASINGING Event this week.
“I don’t want to reduce this tournament winner, but through everything that has happened in the last few weeks, I will always be a great preparation to see where my game is and to improve some things,” Mcilroy said.
“I still want to play well, but I still want to have the opportunity to win the tournament, but I will have a much better gauge about where my game is going next week after four days than I haven’t played or spending a week at home. It is an important week for me.
“After two weeks, you are talking about six major champions instead of five major champions.”
