US Open champion Rory McIlroy birdied three of the last five holes to grab a share of the lead with American Keegan Bradley after the first round of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland matched Bradley, this year’s PGA Championship winner, on four-under par 67 after the opening 18 holes in the two-day, $1.35 million showdown of the year’s four major golf champions. “To birdie three of the last five holes was great,” said McIlroy.
