World #1 Rory McIlroy fired a 4-under par 67 and takes a one shot lead to the third round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

The 25-year-old McIlroy is trying to win his third straight tournament.  He takes a one-stroke lead over Australian Jason Day and Jim Furyk into the third round and is two shots in front of Rickie Fowler, Ryan Palmer and Mikko Ilonen of Finland.

McIlroy said his goal for the weekend is to try to put as much distance between him and his pursuers as he possibly could.

It’s a crowded field though.  Fifteen players are within four shots of the lead, including 2005 PGA champion Phil Mickelson, who climbed into a tie for seventh with a 67.  Madison’s Steve Stricker shot a 3-under par 68 who stands with Mickelson at 5-under.

Day shot the low round of the day (65).  He’s looking for his first major victory.  Day’s tied for fourth at the U.S. Open in June. [Read more…]
