Rory McIlroy overcomes club break to card 67 in ‘rollercoaster’ Wentworth start

Rory McIlroy overcame the shock of breaking a club midshot to card an opening 67 in the BMW PGA Championship.

In an incident-packed round at Wentworth, McIlroy also had to hit a putt left-handed, saw his tee shot on the 17th bounce out of the trees and then hit his approach to the 18th out of bounds.

That cost the 2014 champion his second bogey of the day and, at five under par, left him a shot behind clubhouse leader Niklas Norgaard, who won his first DP World Tour title in the British Masters at The Belfry earlier this month.
