McIlroy, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, missed the British Open after rupturing a tendon in his left ankle while kicking around a soccer ball with friends.

So he happily went along at Firestone South in Akron, Ohio, making five birdies in 10 holes on his way to a 4-under-par 66. New Zealander Danny Lee topped the leaderboard at 5 under 65.

There were obviously much larger issues in play when it comes to Tiger’s scandal, but as it pertains to the game of golf; it clearly triggered a demise that seems to be fatal.

He is on 12-under par, alongside Louis Oosthuizen and Jason Day.

American Johnson produced a brilliant birdie putt on his last hole to move 15 under but Leishman showed nerves of steel with his next shot on the 15, retaining his one shot lead with a 10 footer just as Johnson was making his way for the clubhouse.

The future of golf is Jordan Spieth.
