The headlines are a sign of the times, the type that Rory McIlroy would prefer not to be making but are part of golf’s volatile times.McIlroy shot a bogey-free 67 on Saturday at Quail Hollow Golf Club to cut into the lead of Xander Schauffele, whose 70 kept him one shot out in front at the Wells Fargo Championship.Barring something unusual, it appears that all eyes will be on the final twosome of Schauffele and McIlroy—as they were on Saturday.
Schauffele’s last victory came at the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open. Since that time, he has 19 top-10 finishes without a victory.Earlier this year, he transitioned away from his father, Stefan, as his coach and began working with Chris Como. Sometimes that can mean a regression, but Schauffele has managed to post several good results. He tied for second at the Players Championship and also was eighth at the Masters.
McIlroy has found something, too. His visit with Butch Harmon prior to the Masters helped him shore up some things with his iron play. And he’s been hitting the driver quite well starting a few weeks ago in New Orleans, where he combined with Shane Lowry to win the Zurich Classic, his 25th PGA Tour win.
