{McIlroy’s three double-bogeys mar opening round at Barclays}
With his play this season, Rory McIlroy is making his win at the 2012 PGA Championship seem like a lifetime ago.The former No. 1 player in the world and heir apparent to Tiger Woods’ throne atop the sport played another roller-coaster round Thursday, shooting an even-par 71 in the first round of The Barclays at Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City.McIlroy made four birdies and an eagle, but had all the momentum wiped out by three double-bogeys — including one on the ninth hole, his last of the day.“I made a few silly mistakes out there which cost me,” said McIlroy, who is seven shots behind leader Kevin Stadler. “The rest of it was actually pretty good. So [I will] just try and cut out those silly mental errors,Michael Kors Outlet, and I should be OK.” Getty ImagesBOGEY MAN: Rory McIlroy is seven shots off the pace after The Barclays’ first round. McIlroy hasn’t won on any tour this year and this week is ranked 49th in the FedEx Cup standings.
