McIlroy 'thinking about vacation' after nightmare start

Rory McIlroy says he began "thinking about his vacation next week" after a triple-bogey eight at the fourth hole of his second round all but ended his hopes of making the cut for the final two rounds of The Open at Royal Troon.

The world number two dropped six shots in a four-hole stretch between the third and the sixth but rallied somewhat to post a round of 75 to sit on 11 under, five shots off the cut mark.
