Rory McIlroy Struggles on Saturday, Faces Long Odds at PGA Championship 2018

Rory McIlroy made gains on the leaders as he finished up his rain-delayed second round Saturday.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep them up when he continued play into Round 3.

McIlroy carded a one-over 71, putting him at two under overall and fully taking him out of contention at the 2018 PGA Championship. He is nine strokes off the lead, which is currently held by Brooks Koepka.

Moving day looked like it was going to be a potentially huge one for McIlroy, who closed his second round with birdies on Nos. 14 and 17 to shoot 67 in a second round that was aborted by rain Friday.
