More McIlroy magic but Novak, Griffin keep upper hand

Rory McIlroy shrugged off a 90-minute storm delay and sank a 30-foot eagle putt to steal the show in Saturday's four-ball format third round of the PGA Zurich Classic.

The 35-year-old from Northern Ireland, coming off a Masters triumph two weeks ago to complete a career Grand Slam, rolled in the clutch putt at the 18th green to complete an 11-under par 61 round for defending champions McIlroy and Ireland’s Shane Lowry.

“I think the secret is not thinking about it in those 90 minutes. We had a bit of lunch and we were watching some highlights from last year and talking about where we're going to go for dinner,” McIlroy said of how he handled the delay.

“The last thing on my mind during the delay was the putt, and then once I got back out there, I sort of concentrated on it and made sure I did what I needed to do and just a bonus for it to go in.”
