McIlroy faces emotional early test as PGA Championship begins

Less than 48 hours after his Monday shock divorce filing from wife Erica became public, second-ranked McIlroy was set to start in the sixth group off the 10th tee at 8:25 a.m. (1225 GMT) alongside American Dustin Johnson and England's Justin Rose. After a 10-minute fog delay, US club professional Michael Block struck the opening ball off the first tee to begin the showdown, in which McIlroy, top-ranked Masters winner Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Brooks Koepka top the list of favorites to lift the Wanamaker Trophy.
