Golf is a weird sport. You get to one of the biggest events of the calendar year, and the next thing you know, you’re researching common snapping turtles in North Carolina. Let’s see football or basketball lead to a search result like that!

McIlroy came in as the co-favorite, but his long-time dominance didn't show up in the first round as he struggled to a 74
