Rory McIlroy didn’t start his 2026 PGA Championship on a strong note. He finished 4-over on Thursday, using one abysmal word to describe his round. However, since then, he followed it up with a 3-under round on Friday and a 4-under round on Saturday to put him in contention for the second major of the year.
Ahead of his tee time in Sunday’s final round, McIlroy sits tied for seventh at 3-under, three strokes back from leader Alex Smalley. There’s quite a few golfers in a position to win on Sunday, but McIlroy set himself up nicely for a chance at capturing his second major of the year.
