McIlroy off to great start at USPGA

Rory McIlroy made a superb opening to the USPGA Championship at Kiawah Island today – helped rather than hindered this time by a spectator.

As the thunderstorms of earlier in the week gave way to dry, calm and boiling hot conditions for the start of golf’s last major of the year, McIlroy grabbed three birdies in his first seven holes.
