Plenty bite in McIlroy as he gets in swing to secure second Major

Rory McIlroy’s literally got the bug for PGA Championship glory this week at a storm-drenched Kiawah Island in South Carolina.

There had been five weather stoppages before a shot had been fired in anger on the course lying just south of the island fortress of Fort Sumter, and the scene that ignited the American Civil War.

And if the persistent storms are not enough, there’s alligator infested ponds, including a six-foot long ’gator guarding the 17th green plus biting mosquitoes.
