Rory McIlroy knows what a Saturday in Canada feels like. For the rest of us watching along, what does it feel like? All gas and no brakes, it turns out.

The World No.3 forced himself into a share of the clubhouse lead at the RBC Canadian Open on Saturday, desperately seeking a third title on the spin and a triumph which would provide all of the necessary momentum going into this week's US Open. In the end that lead slipped from his grasp, but momentum looks to be with him.
