McIlroy and Lowry find Oak Hill moving day a bit of a soggy slog

Irish duo struggle to find groove amid torrential downpours in Rochester but both remain in top 10 — and within stretching distance of leaders

Playing together on moving day at the PGA Championship, neither Rory McIlroy nor Shane Lowry moved too far on the leaderboard at Oak Hill on a rain-soaked Saturday.

McIlroy bounced up and down and up again in posting a 1-under 69 that lifted him to a share of fifth place six shots off the lead. Lowry couldn’t rekindle the run he rode in the second round but made a huge par save from off the green on 18 to shoot 1-over 71 and stay tied for 10th.
