Well, it’s not going to be Major number five for Rory McIlroy unless something spectacular happens tomorrow. He’s in the clubhouse on level par

Another man who’s not going to win this week. It’s been another strong showing from tee to green, but he needs to find a way to hole more putts.
Really happy with my -1 (70) in the 💨 M2 @taylormadegolf driver was on 🔥 Looking forward 2 a strong Sunday. #TheOpen pic.twitter.com/R3LJ3zUYpX
