McIlroy in USPGA contention

Rory McIlroy was closer than ever to a first major title and had no reason to worry about Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson as the USPGA Championship finally made up for lost time on Saturday.

Following long fog delays on the first two days it was all systems go at Whistling Straits – and, thanks to a five-under-par 67, 21-year-old McIlroy was in joint second place with American Dustin Johnson with 18 holes left of the final major of the season.
