McIlroy finishes with a flourish

Rory McIlroy came from five strokes back to match American Keegan Bradley’s four under par 67 and leave Darren Clarke and Charl Schwartzel way behind after the first round of the 36-hole PGA Grand Slam of Golf at Port Royal in Bermuda.

The event brings together the season’s four major champions, with the winner earning almost €435,000 and even the player finishing last taking home more than €140,000. No European has won since Ian Woosnam in 1991.
