No sign of a Masters hangover for Rory McIlroy at Truist Championship

In the absence of a green-jacketed monkey on his back, the most need contend with ahead of the season's second major next week appears to be the odd patch of rust on his swing.

Going by his performances in the final warm-up at the Truist Championship in Philadelphia, even those are less than significant. Starting his third round on Saturday, he was fourth, so we can likely wrap up any suspicions of a sustained Masters hangover.

A few loose approaches aside, his putting and driving are predominantly in good nick, which bodes well for the US PGA Championships at Quail Hollow. Not that he needs a second invitation to attack a monstrously long track where he has won four times previously.
