McIlroy returns to competition as Spieth looks for third major
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Rory
McIlroy faces a different set of
questions from the last time he
played, and he had answers for
most of them.
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,

“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

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.

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

weekend rounds to prepare him for

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.

At stake for Spieth is an oppor-

him No. 1 in the world (provided

on the PGA Tour.
Spieth has never played the
weekend in two previous trips to
the PGA Championship. And his
goal at the start of the year was to
