Golf: McIlroy grabs share of Memorial lead
McIlroy has been a contender at the past three majors.
DUBLIN:
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy birdied three of his last four holes to fire a six-under par 66 and match American Chris Riley for the lead after the first round of the PGA Memorial tournament. McIlroy has been a contender at the past three majors, sharing third at last year’s British Open and PGA Championship and leading the Masters with nine holes to play before finishing with a calamitous 80 and a share of 15th. After such major misery, a win at the Memorial would feel mighty good. “It would be fantastic,” said McIlroy.
