PGA TOUR 2022, Wells Fargo Championship, TPC Potomac, Maryland: 5-8 May
Rory McIlroy overcomes brutal conditions on Day Three at Wells Fargo, rising from T50 to T6!
From The Irish Times, by David Gorman:
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy was one of four players to shoot a round in the 60s on Saturday, carding 68 to vault 44 spots up the leaderboard at the cold and rainy Wells Fargo Championship in TPC Potomac.
He sits tied for sixth at two under, six strokes behind the leader Keegan Bradley.
Bradley sits at eight-under 202 after three rounds to take a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm. Max Homa is Bradley’s immediate threat, two shots back at six-under. Homa shot 71 for his round.
“It was a really, really good – it was a really, really good day,” McIlroy said. Read more
From The 42.ie:
WHEN HE’S IN THE MOOD, magic happens and that was the case in the third round of the Wells Fargo championship, as Rory McIlroy overcame back-to-back bogeys on 10 and 11 to proceed to record four birdies in seven holes.
The upshot is he now has a place in the top ten, six shots behind leader, Keegan Bradley, who defied the wet, miserable conditions to shoot a 3-under round of 67. He leads by two from Max Hama who was 6-under thru 15. Read more

TPC Potomac last hosted the PGA TOUR in 2018 and is a 21-time TOUR host. The course meanders through numerous creeks and streams – including the Rock Run Stream Valley, a main tributary of the Potomac River – and wooded terrain. The course boasts bentgrass tees, greens and fairways, as well as natural rolling land and Scottish-style bunkering. Read more
