Rory McIlroy back in contention at Oak Hill

McIlroy back in contention at Oak Hill

Defending champion Rory McIlroy has played himself back into contention for the US PGA Championship with a superb 67 in the third round at Oak Hill.

The Northern Irishman finished with two birdies to take the clubhouse lead on three-under-par, which is just four shots off the current leader Jason Dufner.

A bogey-free front nine saw him hit the turn in one-under-par, but a bogey at the 10th dropped him back to even for the day.

He took advantage of the iconic par-five 13th to get himself back into red numbers, before a long putt at 17 and a chip in from the rough at 18.
