NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. -- Rory Mc Ilroy believed if he carded a 6-under 64 in the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday, he'd put enough pressure on the leaders to shoot even par or better.
The two-time reigning Masters champion came close, posting a 4-under 66 to move to 3 under after 54 holes. He was one stroke behind early clubhouse leaders Matti Schmid of Germany and Nick Taylor of Canada, who both posted 5-under 65.
