(Reuters) - World number one Rory McIlroy effectively declared himself fit for his title defense in next week's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits when he told Golf Channel on Sunday that his rehabilitated left ankle was a "non-issue".
The Northern Irishman, out of action since he ruptured a ligament in his ankle while playing soccer with friends on July 4, spoke after playing 18 holes of practice for a second day in a row at the venue in Kohler, Wisconsin.
