No golfer has ever won the Scottish Open in back-to-back years. Defending champion Rory McIlroy looks to end that drought when he tees it up for the first time since missing two late par putts inside of 4 feet and losing the U.S. Open in mid-June. McIlroy and 155 other golfers head to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, to vie for a $9 million purse, including $1.58 million to the winner.
