Rory McIlroy will start his Open quest at Royal Liverpool, the venue of his first and only Claret Jug in 2014, alongside Masters champion and fellow Ryder Cup team-mate Jon Rahm for the opening two rounds.

The Northern Irishman travels to the Wirral links off the back of an impressive victory at the Scottish Open where a birdie-birdie finish saw him pip home favourite Robert MacIntyre by one shot.

McIlroy, Rahm and Englishman Justin Rose have been drawn on the late-early side of the draw with the three-ball heading out at 2:59pm on Thursday and 3:38pm on Friday while world No1 Scottie Scheffler has been drawn alongside home favourite Tommy Fleetwood and 2012 Open winner Adam Scott on the other side of the draw.

Five-time major winner Brooks Koepka will have his patience tested in his grouping after being paired with Patrick Cantlay after criticising his fellow American for slow play during the Masters earlier this year. Hideki Matsuyama finishes their morning threeball.

Jordan Spieth, who has not missed a cut in nine Open appearances, is paired with Matt Fitzpatrick and Jason Day while Royal Liverpool member Matthew Jordan will have the honour off the tee at 6:35am alongside Richie Ramsay and Branden Grace in the opening group.

Round one: Thursday, 20 July
