After missing the last month of golf due to a serious ankle injury, McIlroy finally got back on the greens today and he did not disappoint.

He finished the day T-22, and shot -1 on 71 strokes. It wasn’t a great performance, but it was a solid start for someone who’s recovering from a major ligament injury. McIlroy began a little slow, but finished strong with three birdies over his last 10 holes.

McIlroy is five strokes behind the lead, but there’s still plenty of time to catch up.

Next: Not-so-great Scott
