Rory McIlroy plans to “just bomb it everywhere” at the US PGA this weekend after admitting he can’t believe he is only five shots off the halfway lead.
The Ulsterman struggled with his swing coming into the second Major of the year and was three-over par after his first nine holes. But the world No.3 recovered to shoot an opening 71 - and nailed a 16-foot birdie putt at the last yesterday (Friday) for a 69 to move back to level par.
He is five shots back from the leaders Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners and Viktor Hovland in tied 10th place before more rain is forecast today.
