Rory McIlroy refuses to break his silence as PGA Championship title bid falls apart
Rory McIlroy continued his silence and opted not to engage with the press for a third consecutive day as his PGA Championship struggles continue. After three rounds McIlroy is two-over, leaving him a massive 13 shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler going into the final day and there has been controversy about his driver to deal with too.
A routine check found McIlroy’s TaylorMade Qi10 driver to be non-conforming, a situation that often comes from the standard wear-and-tear of using a club. The organisers, without specifically confirming the issue with McIlroy’s driver, were keen to emphasise there was no suggestion of any “intent” behind the ruling violation as they explained the testing process. Since the change, McIlroy’s driving woes have been evident at Quail Hollow, significantly hindering his chances of securing consecutive major titles.
