PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Rory McIlroy climbed deep into some tropical brush after hitting a flier over the sixth green Saturday at the Honda Classic.You could say he summed up his round there, not because he ended up making double bogey, but because he was willing to go to such extremes to make the most of a tough day.McIlroy crawled into the heavy brush at the sixth, planted himself on his knees in that tight space, choked up on an iron and punched himself out of trouble, short of the green. He ended up needing three more shots from there, but the determination led to better things.
