McIlroy at Kiawah seeking first major since ‘14

Rory McIlroy arrives at the 103rd PGA Championship seeking his first major triumph since 2014 after snapping an 18-month US PGA Tour win drought last week.

And it won’t hurt that the four-time major winner from Northern Ireland is returning to Kiawah Island, where he won the 2012 PGA by a record-setting eight-stroke margin.

“Hopefully history repeats itself,” McIlroy said. “But I’m just happy that I can hit the golf shots I need to under pressure.

“You just need to get yourself in the position to put yourself under pressure to hit the shots that really matter.”
