After an opening 74 at the PGA Championship that he described as “shit”, Rory McIlroy bounced back with a bogey free 67 that he says was “not as shit” to comfortably make the cut. Despite unanimous praise from fans about the Aronimink set up, Rory is not as impressed: “The only thing I would say is, I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it's a sign of not a great setup, I think when it's as bunched as it is, because it hasn't really enabled anyone to separate themselves. It's like, you know, it's easy to make a ton of pars, hard to make birdies, and not that it's hard to make bogey, but it feels like bogey's the worst score you're going to shoot on any one hole. “There's not a lot of hazards. There's not, you know -- yeah, I think the setup is fine, like the golf course is good, the pins were tough, and the wind was what it was as well. But I just think, yeah, I've always felt like really good setups, it starts to spread the field a bit, and not great setups sort of bring everyone together. I feel like that's what's happened the last two days.” Rory is 5 shots back of the lead in T30th position heading into the weekend and says he still feels like he is in with a chance: “At five back I do feel like I'm right in the tournament, and that's really what I wanted to do today was to just get myself back in it, and I feel like I've done that.” Rory has a Saturday pairing with Brooks Koepka at 11am EST. He will need 2 low ones over the next 2 days if he is to claim his third PGA Championship and be halfway towards completing the calendar year Grand Slam. Rory McIlroy PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy says distraction is a good thing, and with a six-shot Masters lead he wouldn't let golf into his head until he got to the course. "Yeah, I'll probably try to keep my mind off it." "That distraction is usually a good thing for me, especially with... late tee time and the lead." "So yeah, there's actually two really good semifinals at Monte Carlo in the tennis, so I'll watch that." "We've been watching the tennis early in the mornings, so I'll do that." "And then hopefully spend some time with Poppy." "I think we're about halfway through Zootopia 2, so maybe do a little bit of that." "I get to the golf course two and a half to three hours before, and then I'll start to think about things." "But before that time, yeah, I really try to stay off my phone and distract myself and try not to think about it too much." "You know, I just want to go out and play two good rounds again." "Obviously, this golf course has certain characteristics that... guys can get on runs, guys can make eagles." "You hear roars all over the golf course." "I think the next two days for me, it's just about really focusing on myself." "It's hard to avoid those big leaderboards out there, but like, I know that I've got a lead, so I don't need to keep checking it all the time." "So for me, just really focusing on myself and staying in my own little world out there is the best thing." He isn't fighting the thought. He's put a start time on it: golf is allowed into his head when he arrives at the course and not a minute before, and the hours in front of that mark are filled with tennis and a cartoon with his daughter so there's no room left over. The phone stays off because the phone is how it gets back in. That changes what the night before something big is actually for. You run the thing over in your head for hours and call it preparation, when mostly you are rehearsing it badly and calling that getting ready. Rory had the biggest lead anyone has ever taken into a Masters weekend and still gave himself permission to put it down until a specific hour, then went out and stopped checking the leaderboard, because he already knew what it said. - Rory McIlroy (Rory McIlroy), 2026 Masters press conference (The Masters)
