Rory McIlroy Staying Patient After Rusty Start at The Players

McIlroy, who withdrew from last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational with a back injury, opened with a two-over 74 at Sawgrass and sits T69. He admitted feeling “unbelievably rusty” but was “glad I got through the round,” saying he isn’t “that far away” and that “a good one tomorrow” could put him “right in it for the weekend.”
