Rory McIlroy likes his chances for third PGA Championship title

Rory McIlroy is confident he can "excel" at Baltusrol and likes his chances of winning another major at the PGA Championship this week.

The world's fourth-ranked player was unable to add to his tally of four major titles at The Open, finishing tied for fifth as Henrik Stenson was crowned champion at Royal Troon.

McIlroy has found the PGA very much to his liking, winning the final major of the year twice, recording five top-10 finishes and never missing the cut. The Northern Irishman is backing himself to mount a strong challenge in Springfield, N.J., due to the nature of the course.
