His left ankle, with swelling the size of a tennis ball after he heard it snap while playing soccer with IULHQGVLQHDUO\-XO\IHOW¿QHZKHQ he got off the plane and began SUHSDULQJIRUWKH¿QDOPDMRURIWKH year. His game is good, and he sees no one reason why that will change when the PGA Championship starts Thursday. One other question was a little more tricky. Who’s the best player in the world? McIlroy is No. 1 in the world ranking. He also has watched Jordan Spieth produce an inspiring year in golf by winning the Masters and U.S. Open, and then coming within one shot of a playoff at the British Open. Spieth has four wins this year, one more than McIlroy, WKRXJKWZRRIWKHPDUHPDMRUV “If you were to go by this year, you would have to say Jordan,” McIlroy said. “If you go over the last two years, I would say it’s AP Photo/Chris Carlson Rory McIlroy hits a shot during a practice round for the PGA Championship on Wednesday. probably a toss-up between Jordan and myself. That’s a hard one. OK, we’ve got the rankings there, but it’s all a matter of opinion.” And what was his opinion? “I’ll tell you at the end of the week,” McIlroy said with a smile. The shine came off golf when Spieth’s bid for the Grand Slam ended at St. Andrews. It returned when McIlroy began posting photos and videos last week that indicated he would be playing at Whistling 6WUDLWV KLV ¿UVW WRXUQDPHQW VLQFH the U.S. Open. They face off Thursday after- noon, in the same group with British Open champion Zach Johnson. It will be the third time in WKH ODVW HLJKW PDMRUV WKDW 0F,OUR\ and Spieth have played together the opening two rounds. It has never received attention like this. ³, WKLQN WKDW¶V MXVW ZKDW \RX guys want to see,” Spieth said. “I WKLQNKHDQG,MXVWZDQWWRJRRXW there and try and win the tourna- ment. We have to beat each other in order to do that, along with ... 155 other guys. It’s great. We’re all very happy to see him back. I’m excited WR MXVW VKDUH D FRXSOH GD\V ZLWK Rory, and Zach as well. “Hopefully, we can all get into contention, and it will certainly be exciting.” McIlroy, the defending cham- pion, said he never targeted the PGA Championship as his return. His test came in Portugal last week when he played — and walked — 72 holes. There was no pain, no swelling. And he knew he was ready. “If I hadn’t passed that test, I wouldn’t have been here,” he said. For all the attention Spieth has earned with his four victories (along with playoff losses at the Colonial and Houston Open), McIlroy hasn’t been a mere spectator to this sensational season. He has three victories, one of them a World Golf Championship, and he had top 10s LQERWKPDMRUVKHSOD\HG Still, there is a degree of uncer- tainty about his game. It will have been 53 days without competition when McIlroy tees it up Thursday. “Expectation levels are the same,” McIlroy said. “I have played quite a number of rounds of golf. I’ve been practicing for over three weeks getting my game ready, getting my game sharp. I feel like I’m playing well, hitting it well on the range. I’ve taken that onto the course in practice rounds and from there, it’s being able to take it into tournament play with a card in my hand.” At Chambers Bay, Spieth would ¿QG WKH ZRUVW SDUW RI WKH SXWWLQJ green to rap 6-footers before the weekend rounds to prepare him for VRPHEDGERXQFHV'XULQJKLV¿QDO nine holes of practice Wednesday, he was tossing balls in some quirky spots around the green, even down on the sandy bank of Lake Mich- igan. He wants no surprises. He is prepared for a tough test. And he has the same attitude he had going into the British Open. This isn’t a chance to make history. ,W¶VDFKDQFHWRZLQDPDMRU At stake for Spieth is an oppor- WXQLW\WREHWKH¿UVWSOD\HUWRVZHHS WKH WKUHH $PHULFDQ PDMRUV LQ WKH same season.
