ST. LOUIS – Rory McIlroy had a new accessory for the first round of the PGA Championship.
An anti-inflammatory patch on his right forearm.
McIlroy said that he began feeling forearm tightness and discomfort in the crook of his right wrist last weekend at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. He said he’d hit a lot of balls to try and iron out his ball-striking issues, but that even though it’s “inflamed and a little tight, it’s fine.”
“Funny enough, it hurts the most with chipping because I sort of hold the angle a little bit,” he said.
