McIlroy opens PGA Championship with bogeys, eyes major glory

Rory McIlroy opened his latest major bid at the US PGA Championship in Louisville with a rough start, finishing the opening round with four straight bogeys. The world No. 2 looked to stamp his mark early, but the card told a different story as the round wore on.

McIlroy was set to tee off at 1:40pm BST in UK time, keeping fans back home tuned in as he tries to navigate a course known for demanding precision. He’s back in major action after winning his second successive Masters, a run that has kept him firmly in the mix this season.

Victory this week would lift him past Sir Nick Faldo’s tally of six majors and cement him as the most successful European of the modern era. The bid for more major glory is on, even as the round finished with a stumble.

With the clock ticking on his round, all eyes will be on how he responds in the next two days, as he chases a title that has eluded him this season.
