Rory McIlroy suffers nightmare 16th hole as triple bogey sees him fall down the leaderboard
victory in more than four years after a five-under-par round of 66 saw him take a tie of the lead at the Cognizant Classic.
Lowry birdied the 10th to take the lead on his own and had a chance to extend his lead on the 11th but his birdie putt agonisingly stayed on the edge of the hole. He fell out of the lead after a short par miss from inside three feet at 13th hole, as Austin Eckroat birdied, before two more good birdies chances on 14 and 15 just missed.Rory McIlroy hints there is chance he could join LIV Golf
McIlroy suffered an up-and-down day on the greens after a frustrating 18 putts on the front nine led to him hitting the turn in one-over 36 after a three-putt from 24 feet on the ninth. On the back nine, however, he made birdie putts from 10 feet and 23 feet, before a great wedge to three feet on the 13th made it three birdies in four holes to get within two of the lead.McIlroy then had a nightmare finish at the “Bear Trap”.
