McIlroy Surges Back, Scheffler Stumbles | Limerick News

Rory McIlroy surged into the BMW Championship lead with a stellar six-under-par round, turning around a tough prior performance with help from his coach and caddie—this course feels like a perfect fit. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler struggled early, bogeying four of his first seven holes and finishing two over, staying quiet after his round. McIlroy’s birdie spree, especially on the back nine, propelled him to a tie for the lead and secured his Tour Championship spot. Gary Woodland and Wyndham Clark also climbed into contention with eagles and late birdies, while J.J. Spaun narrowly missed the top after a final-hole drop. Matt Fitzpatrick and his brother Alex lurk just behind, setting the stage for a thrilling, multi-contender battle.
