McDowell and McGinley lead Irish in Baltusrol

After recently recovering from a car crash, Graeme McDowell sunk an eagle on the 18th to card a respectable two over par 72 at the USPGA Championship at hot and humid Baltusrol yesterday.

In an underwhelming showing for the Irish, Paul McGinley also shot a 72, with Darren Clarke on 73 and Pádraig Harrington, who missed the Open after the death of his father, is on 76.
