Golf LIVE – PGA Championship star calls out chief as Rory McIlroy takes action

Rory McIlroy headed to the range after a poor start to the PGA Championship. 

McIlroy was among the pre-tournament favourites at Aronimink Golf Club, a month on from successfully defending his title at Augusta National.

But he bogeyed each of his last four holes to end his round four-over 74.

And following his round, he headed to the range after admitting he needs to find improvement in his ‘wayward’ driving. 

He said: “I’m just not driving the ball well enough. It’s been a problem all year for the most part. I miss it right, and then I want to try to correct it. And then I’ll overdo it, and I’ll miss it left.

“It’s a little bit of back and forth that way. So that’s pretty frustrating, especially when I pride myself on driving the ball well. I just need to try to figure it out. I honestly thought I’d figured it out.

“Coming in here, I hit it well on Sunday at Quail Hollow and then hit it good at home on Monday. Obviously had to curtail the practice round Tuesday, but hit it decent yesterday.

“Once I get under the gun, it just seems like it starts to go a little bit wayward on me.”
