Scottie Scheffler sizzles as Rory McIlroy digs deep at Tour Championship

Rory McIlroy improved his starting score of -4 by three shots with a 67 but is eight behind leader Scottie Scheffler in a tie for sixth at the PGA Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

McIlroy's rollercoaster round began with a triple-bogey but also featured an eagle and four birdies in his last five holes.

Scheffler began the FedEx Cup finale, where players are given a starting score based on their season's performance, on 10 under but pushed that out to -15 with a superb 65.

Xader Schauffle is next closest on -10, having started on -6.
