OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Rory McIlroy wasn’t planning on leaderboard watching – after all, it was only a Saturday – but he couldn’t help it.
“The only reason I paid attention to the leaderboard was because of all the cheers I heard everywhere,” McIlroy said. “I felt like our group got off to a good start, and then behind us it just sounded as if everyone was going crazy.”
They were, and a big part of it was Bryson DeChambeau.
A day after coming inches from shooting 59, DeChambeau got off to another scorching start at Caves Valley.
