Darren Clarke backs Rory McIlroy to win third US PGA Championship

"When you have his ability to hit the ball as far as he does and as straight as he does, he can overpower any golf course."

Darren Clarke has backed Rory McIlroy to win a third US PGA Championship at Baltusrol and avoid extending his winless streak in majors to two full years.

McIlroy won the Irish Open in May and has recorded eight other top-10 finishes in strokeplay events in 2016, but failed to add to his tally of four major titles in the Masters, US Open and Open Championship.
