Another week, another tournament, another time zone, and another round of par or better for Rory McIlroy.
Even with a disappointing finish, the world No. 1 shot a 1-under 71 Thursday to sit just three shots off the early clubhouse lead at the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship.
The BMW PGA, which kick-started his incredible summer run a year ago, is McIlroy’s fourth consecutive start. He is also playing next week’s Irish Open, an event hosted by his foundation.
Over the past three weeks he has played 265 holes and flown over 7,100 miles, but McIlroy doesn’t yet appear to be running on fumes.
