‘Overall I feel like I’ve sort of been stuck in neutral a little bit this week, and I’m still in a decent position,’ McIlroy said.
RORY MCILROY’S TOPSY-TURVY round saw him slip to five shots behind the leader at the St Jude Championship, the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoff opener.
That put Glover, the 2009 US Open champion, one ahead of countryman Taylor Moore, who shot 65, with England’s Tommy Fleetwood third on 198 after a third straight 66.“It was a little bit of smoke and mirrors today, just to be honest. I got a lot out of what I had.“Short game bailed me out a lot early, and missed a couple putts I thought I should have made coming in. But I’m still in a good spot.”
Glover, who snapped a two-year win drought at Greensboro last Sunday, had been in the top six in three of his four PGA starts last month before his breakthrough. Moore shared the lead at the 18th tee but found a fairway bunker and needed three to reach the green, leaving himself a putt from just under 14 feet for par.
Moore said winning his first PGA title in March at the Valspar Championship could help him capture his second this weekend.
