Resilient Rory McIlroy finishes US PGA  round with a flourish

Rory McIlroy produced a sensational late rally to keep his US PGA title hopes on life support as Shane Lowry launched a blistering charge to move into the mix at Quail Hollow.

McIlroy came from nine shots behind at halfway to win his maiden PGA Tour title at Quail Hollow in 2010.

But he insisted that two 67s could still be enough to earn him his fifth major title on Sunday after he rallied from four over from the tournament with three to play with a birdie-birdie-par finish.
