McIlroy Slumps To Shock Charles Schwab Finish

Rory McIlroy was probably pleased there was no spectators present to see him produce a horror final round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.

The American duo of Collin Morikawa (67) and Daniel Berger (66) ended regulation play tied at 15-under par and with the 23-year ...
