OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Rory McIlroy holed an eagle putt from just outside 10 feet on the par-5 16th on his way to an 8-under 64, giving him a share of the lead with Jon Rahm and Sam Burns heading into the second round of the PGA’s BMW Championship. McIlroy hasn’t opened with a score this low since a 64 at the Tour Championship last year. Rahm had five birdies on the front and kept bogeys off his card, the 15th time in his last 17 rounds he’s shot in the 60s.
