McIlroy finds form at St Jude

Rory McIlroy produced a welcome return to form ahead of his US Open title defence next week as he fired an opening two-under-par 68 at the St Jude Classic in Memphis.

McIlroy’s round left him two behind clubhouse leader Jeff Maggert.

The Irishman moved to three under after 10 but some long-game struggles caused two back-nine bogeys.
