Hell tee off in Sundays final group alongside Simpson.Round of the day: McIlroy went bogey-free while carding six birdies.

Best of the rest: Jonathan Byrd matched McIlroys 64, his first score of 64 or better since last years Wyndham Championship. A day after making two bogeys and a double in his final five holes, Lowry went bogey-free over his last 16 holes and shot 4-under 66.Biggest disappointment: Scott Brown started the day tied for the lead, but he made just one birdie and gave two away late on a double bogey at the par-5 17th hole. Brown, who shot 5-over 75 to fall to T-13, entered this week having missed six of his last eight cuts.Main storyline entering Sunday: Coming off a missed cut at the Memorial, his first since the 2018 U.S. Open, McIlroy will look to notch his second victory of the season before he heads to Pebble Beach next week. McIlroy has finished worse than T-9 just twice in 11 starts this year, but he has missed each of his past three U.S. Open cuts all of which came after he didnt play the week before. The week before his last major win, the 2014 PGA, McIlroy won the WGC-Bridgestone. Also, three tickets to The Open at Royal Portrush are up for grabs. As it stands, Hadwin, Mackenzie Hughes and Erik Van Rooyen are in position, though Graeme McDowell is tied for ninth with Rooyen and two others not already qualified. (Rooyen wins the tiebreaker as the highest-ranked player.)Shot of the day: McIlroys wedge game looked pretty good here.
Near perfection from @McIlroyRory. #QuickHits pic.twitter.com/slN7H6vn4I— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 8, 2019Quote of the day: I'm much happier with it than I was Saturday morning last week. A week can make a big difference. Just tidied a couple things up. Got the driver going a bit better; got my wedges going a bit better. The things that you definitely need around this golf course, Hamilton, and things I'll obviously need down the line looking at the next few weeks coming up. If anything, that missed cut last weekend has been a little bit of a blessing. McIlroy

German-born Arizona State product Max Rottluff opened his first round with a par, but recorded a 10(!) on the par-4 second. That quickly put him at six over, but the 25-year-old rallied with two birdies on the front nine before adding five more on the back to shoot a one-under-par 70.
