ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- It may yet be the most important shot of Rory McIlroy's life. McIlroy, looking to win his first major since 2014 at this weekend's Open at St. Andrews, raised the loudest cheer from the 52,000-strong crowd when he chipped in for an eagle from a bunker on the 10th during the third round.
McIlroy was nicely positioned heading into Saturday and he continued his charge on moving day with a 3-under 33 on the front nine. The eagle on the 10th propelled him to a tie for the lead with Viktor Hovland.
