CROMWELL Conn. — Nothing seems to be stopping Rory McIlroy these days.
Despite battling sinus issues while also making his fourth straight start, McIlroy again finds himself in contention after firing a bogey-free 8-under 62 to take the early Travelers Championship lead by one stroke.
"I didn't hit any golf balls Monday and Tuesday," McIlroy said after his round. "I flew back down to Florida for a day, spent the night in my own bed, flew back up Tuesday, didn't come to the course, and then yesterday playing the pro-am in the rain wasn't really great preparation, but I feel — I played well at Brookline.
