Rory McIlroy may be the best shot of an Irish winner at this week’s Open Championship but Shane Lowry has been handed the more eye-catching group for the opening two days at the Antrim coast venue.

Lowry will tee off at 10.09am on Thursday and he will have world No.1 and three-time major winner Scottie Scheffler and two-time major champion Collin Morikawa for company as he attempts to repeat his Open success here six years ago.
