Rory limbers up for PGA Championship

World No 1 Rory McIlroy played a practice round on Saturday at Whistling Straits as he prepares to defend his title at the 97th PGA Championship.

McIlroy sustained ligament damage in his left ankle playing soccer with friends last month and missed the chance to defend his British Open title at St. Andrews as well as this week's World Golf Championships event at Firestone.

"@McIlroyRory on site for a practice round at #Whistling Straits," the PGA Championship tweeted along with a picture of Northern Irish star hitting a shot on the course.
