McIlroy posts record-tying 63 at St. Andrews

Golf Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rory McIlory said the thought crept into his head on 17 that he could set or match the low round in a major.

He missed his four-footer for birdie on 17, but closed with a three-foot birdie putt at the last to post a nine-under 63 Thursday at the British Open.

"I was thinking going up 17, what's the lowest score for a major," McIlory stated. "I didn't know it. I know there's been a few 63s, but wasn't sure if there were any 62s. That might have crept into my mind a little bit hitting that putt on 17."

It was the 24th time a player has posted a 63 in a major championship, but just second time it has happened on the Old Course at St. Andrews. It was also good enough for an early three-stroke lead for McIlory.

John Daly, the 1995 Open champion at St. Andrews, shares second place with Andrew Coltart at minus-six.

Marcel Siem and Nick Watney are one stroke further back at five-under 67.

McIlroy didn't look like he'd be near the top of the leaderboard at the start of the round.

The 21-year-old from Northern Ireland birdied the third, but otherwise parred on seven of his first eight holes. His run started with an eagle on the par- four ninth.

Around the turn, he poured in three consecutive birdie chances from the 10th to jump to six-under. McIlroy knocked his second shot on the par-five 14th onto the forward tee of No. 15.

He chipped to 10 feet and drained that to take the lead at seven-under, then knocked in an eight-footer for birdie at the 15th to push his lead to two strokes.

McIlroy parred on 16 and 17, where his four-footer for birdie lipped out. At the last, he pitched his third to three feet and knocked that in for a closing birdie.
