Rory McIlroy returned to action for the first time since his Royal Portrush Open homecoming at the BMW Championship in Maryland this week – and although he didn’t reign supreme, the Northern Irishman still walked away with a healthy paycheque.

Robert MacIntyre entered the day holding onto a four-shot lead with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in solo second. That pair will play together again Sunday, and Scotland's MacIntyre says he's ready to feel the heat from the American crowd.

McIlroy has had an up-and-down week at Caves Valley, from day-to-day and from hole-to-hole. After a 4-under 66 on Friday, he turned in a rollercoaster round of 71 on Saturday which features four birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey.
