The Latest: McIlroy, Spieth Duel at PGA, Close In on Johnson
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The Latest from the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits (all times local):
11:22 a.m.
Just like the weather, the battle between Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth for king of the hill is starting to sizzle.
McIlroy, the world's top-ranked golfer, made up for the short-game woes that produced a double-bogey 6 at his ninth hole of the day with a spectacular chip-in for eagle at par-5 second. The wedge shot came from 40 feet off the green, took two hops and then rolled into the cup to put him at 2 under.
Spieth, ranked No. 2, made birdie there as well with a tap-in to go to 4 under.
Both are now closing in on leader Dustin Johnson, who is at 6 under.
