Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France) (AFP) - Rory McIlroy had a stop-start opening to the 100th French Open at Golf National on Thursday, as Dane Lucas Bjerregaard fired a hole-in-one and opened up a one-shot clubhouse lead. World number four McIlroy managed four birdies against four bogeys in an even par round of 71 to sit five adrift of the early lead. Despite not being a spectacular opening to his first visit here since 2010, it was a good return for McIlroy after missing the US Open cut at Oakmont, despite two shots finding the water.
