Rory McIlroy shot two three-putt double-bogeys in just three holes during his opening round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The world number one's round descended into chaos early, with a double-bogey on the first hole followed by another on the third, both costing him multiple strokes after errant putts rolled well past the cup. McIlroy's putting woes continued on the fourth, where he required three putts for another double-bogey, highlighting a significant lapse in concentration.

This shaky start could impact his chances in the prestigious California event, known for its challenging links golf. The performance raises questions about McIlroy's form heading into the season's later stages.
