Reporting from St. Andrews, Scotland —
One day after equaling the best round ever in one of golf's major championships, Rory McIlroy has seen his British Open lead blown to bits.Unable to harness the strong, blustery winds blowing in off the North Sea, the 21-year-old pro bogeyed four holes on the front side at St. Andrews to fall to 5-under for the tournament – suddenly seven shots behind pacesetter Louis Oosthuizen.
All four of those bogeys came after play was halted for 65 minutes because gusts as high as 41 mph wouldn't let golf balls hold still on some greens.
