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

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.
