CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Rory McIlroy was forced to use a backup driver in the PGA Championship when his regular driver was tested and deemed to be nonconforming after he arrived at Quail Hollow, according to a report on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio on Friday.
McIlroy was tied for last in driving accuracy among the 74 players who made the cut on Friday, hitting only 10 fairways in two rounds. The Masters champion made the cut on the number after a bogey on the final hole when he drove left beyond a creek against corporate tents.
For the second straight day, McIlroy left Quail Hollow and declined to speak to the media.
