'Disappointing day' for Rory McIlroy (69); still searching for rhythm after Tour restart

Rory McIlroy won’t be lacking purpose as he enters Sunday’s final round of the Travelers Championship with little chance to win.

He’s looking for a good finish to build some summer momentum.

After an up-and-down round of 1-under 69 Saturday, McIlroy sits at 10 under overall, tied for 18th and eight shots off the lead. He made five birdies against four bogeys.

“It was just sort of like one of those days,” McIlroy said. “Every time I took a step forward, I took a step back a couple holes later. Yeah, sort of stood still compared to everyone else that was going low out there.
