Hero World Challenge leaderboard: Rory McIlroy in three-way tie for lead after Round 1
CBSN
The four-time major champ is going for his third win of the year
For the third consecutive time since September's Ryder Cup, Rory McIlroy is threatening to win a golf tournament. McIlroy won the CJ Cup in October and nearly pulled off the DP World Tour Championship Dubai in November. Now he shares the Hero World Challenge lead at 6 under alongside Abraham Ancer and Daniel Berger.
McIlroy said after his round that his game feels sharp and has maintained that he found something after that Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits.
"The three starts since the Ryder Cup have been really good, I've shot some good, low scores," he said. "Yeah, the game's feeling a lot better and it's just another ... chance to get into contention and feel that, you know, whatever it is you feel on Sunday when you're trying to win a golf tournament."
