Tee times for the Open Championship

The US Open champion - the youngest winner of that event since Bobby Jones in 1923 - will tee off in Thursday’s first round at 9:09am, alongside 2002 winner Ernie Els and American Rickie Fowler.

McIlroy will start favourite at Royal St George’s and the 22-year-old will be looking for a similar start to last year at St Andrews, where he opened with a record-equalling 63 and went on to finish third, despite crashing to an 80 in bad weather in the second round.

The Northern Ireland youngster has not played a competitive round since his stunning US Open triumph at Congressional last month, but practised on the course last week and will give his pre-tournament press conference tomorrow.

American Jerry Kelly will hit the first shot at 6:30am, alongside Yorkshire debutant Danny Willett.
