Rory McIlroy admits Wentworth PGA Championship win would mean more due to LIV Golf drama

Rory McIlroy put in a stellar performance to move within a shot of the lead at the PGA Championship in Wentworth and admitted he was inspired by the presence of the LIV Golf stars.

On Saturday, the three-time FedEx Cup champion moved within one shot of the lead at the BMW Championship at Wentworth as he sunk a birdie on the 18th hole. It meant McIlroy shot an impressive 65 ahead of the final round.

The Northern Irishman started his round perfectly as he potted an eagle at the fourth and maintained momentum by securing birdies at holes eight, 11 and 12. He received his fair share of luck too, with a fortunate bounce off the trees on the 17th allowed McIlroy to make a birdie on the penultimate hole, too.
