Heading into Sunday, McIlroy’s the man to beat
After 54 holes, the leader of the Honda Classic is the same man who was in front after 36: Rory McIlroy.
Check out the clubs in Rory’s bag here.
Golf scribes must be thrilled with the story that’s been dumped in their laps: The boy wonder returning to form, finally with his affairs and swing in order, at the very tournament where, last year, he was so frustrated with his game (or the pain in his tooth, depending on who you believe) that he walked off the golf course.
Saturday, McIlroy carded a tidy round of 69 in the most trying conditions of the week at PGA National. Russell Henley, who fired a third-round 68, sits two strokes back. Tiger Woods, for his part, put together his best round of the year, getting around the course in 65 strokes. He’ll begin Sunday seven strokes behind the leader.
Rory McIlroy hasn’t been victorious on the PGA Tour since the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick in 2012. Much has transpired for the 24-year-old golfer since that time. But with a strong start to the 2013-2014 season, things seem to be coming together for the Nike staffer.
Said Rory on the state of his game: “I’ve been building and building toward getting my game to a level where I feel it should be…I’m pretty much at that point now.”
Sunday’s final round will show us exactly what level the Ulsterman’s game is on.
McIlroy is slated to tee off with Russell Henley at 1:40 p.m. ET.
Coverage begins on Golf Channel at 1 p.m. and switches to NBC at 3.

Thanks, all. Forgot about the Oz Open as it wasn’t a major tour victory, and thus it didn’t show up when I took a quick look at his results.

>Rory McIlroy hasn’t won anywhere since the World Tour Championship in Dubai at the end of 2012
Australia is somewhere…

Maybe the aus pga tour isn’t considered important enough for Ben. Shame, beautiful courses and a tour that needs help to promote itself …

Um, Rory did win the Australian Open at the end of November, 2013.
