McIlroy and Cantlay are part of a 4-way tie for the early lead in the Scottish Open

AI Summary

Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy are tied for the early lead at the Scottish Open golf tournament. Other top players like Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler are also in contention on a sunny day by the Firth of Forth.

Patrick Cantlay made a little noise in an otherwise quiet year for the American with five birdies in 10 holes and then a collection of tough par saves at the end that felt just as valuable. Brooks Koepka was among those one shot behind. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, was among those playing in the afternoon on a glorious summer day along the Firth of Forth.
