Finishing will be tough at Quail Hollow Club

Five storylines to follow as the best players in the world descend upon Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, this week for the PGA Championship.

RORY ENCORE?

Rory McIlroy arrives at Quail Hollow as a hot favourite after finally securing the career Grand Slam of golf's four majors with his playoff win at the Masters in April.

The Northern Irishman will now turn his attention to capturing the second leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam and will like his chances at Quail Hollow, where he has enjoyed more success than any other player.

McIlroy won a record fourth Wells Fargo Championship last year at Quail Hollow with a dominant performance that saw him earn a five-stroke victory.

SPIETH’S BID

Just over a month after McIlroy became the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam, and first since Tiger Woods in 2000, Jordan Spieth will make his ninth attempt at joining golf’s most exclusive club.
