At the PGA Championship, Rory McIlroy shot consecutive 69s, putting him at one under heading into the final round at Oak Hill and keeping him in contention. After battling from the tee in the first two days, McIlroy "couldn't believe" he was only five strokes off the halfway lead after shooting a third-round 69. The Northern Irishman was still not completely satisfied with his game. The four-time major winner, who is seeking his first major title since winning this event in 2014, improved his driving accuracy and put himself in contention for the lead going into Sunday's final round by making five birdies and four bogeys in the torrential rain at Oak Hill.
Michael Block - will he prove himself again?
In his Friday matchup, Block dropped three strokes in the first two holes of the second round, but Block recovered with three birdies in a row on holes six, seven, and eight to salvage a second consecutive 70 and a share of second place. At the start of the back nine, Block made a birdie putt from eight feet on the 10th hole, another from the same distance to save par on the 11th, and then an approach shot to tap-in range on the 12th. While he is the underdog once again in this match, we expect the American golfer to be at his best and display class once again.
