PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Rory McIlroy took only five questions from the media Saturday night before heading to the range.
He had work to do before sunset.
McIlroy shot a respectable 2-under 70 to stay in the hunt at The Players, but he fell a shot behind the red-hot Jon Rahm, who surged up the leaderboard with a third-round 64.
There was a sense of urgency as McIlroy spoke, but the answer might not be found on the range at TPC Sawgrass. His par-5 play disappointed again Saturday, as he played the longest holes in even par.
