Here comes Rory McIlroy – and it didn’t even take a low one.
On a difficult day weather-wise, McIlroy’s 2-under 68 Saturday at TPC Potomac was good enough to shoot McIlroy up 44 spots on the leaderboard at the Wells Fargo Championship.
“It was very good,” McIlroy said, “especially after the start that I had.”
McIlroy, competing this week for the first time since he finished runner-up at the Masters on the heels of a closing 64, bogeyed each of his first two holes Saturday in cool and wet conditions. But he stuffed a handful of iron shots on the front nine, beginning at the par-3 12th hole (his third of the day), to make his charge.
