NORTON, Mass. – Rory McIlroy didn’t start his week at TPC Boston looking like the man to beat. After tying for 31st last week at The Barclays, he continued to tinker with his putting at the Deutsche Bank Championship and didn’t sound like he expected a quick change to his competitive fortunes.
But after starting his week 4 over par through his first three holes, the Northern Irishman has now played his last 51 holes in 12 under par to move into the hunt at the second FedEx Cup Playoff stop.
