Rory McIlroy has set his sights on going low at Kingsbarns Golf Links on Friday after kicking off his Alfred Dunhill Links Championship campaign with a 69 at Carnoustie.
With ideal conditions greeting the star-studded field of professional golfers and world-famous celebrities on the Scottish coast on day one, McIlroy admitted he perhaps did not make the most of the weather at a notoriously tricky course.
But he is determined to make up for that when he heads to Kingsbarns on day two.
He said: "It's nice to get Carnoustie out of the way.
"It's a course where we had perfect conditions for it. So I feel like I could have taken advantage of it a bit more.
"But yeah, Kingsbarns, a course where if you do get decent conditions, obviously historically, there's been a lot of low scoring.
"So you know, try to get out there tomorrow and shoot a low one and get myself into the tournament."
McIlroy is playing alongside his father Gerry McIlroy this week, and revealed Saturday will be a special day for the pair.
He added: "Lovely to be out here with him (Gerry). We've done this a few times before.
"It's his 65th birthday on Saturday so to be able to stroll around the Old Course with him on his 65th is going to be a pretty cool occasion.
"Delighted to be out here with him, and hopefully we can make a few more birdies tomorrow."
