Rai Shares BMW PGA Championship Lead with McIlroy Three Shots Back Rory McIlroy's struggles down the stretch on day one of the BMW PGA Championship have raised questions about the psychological aspect of golf.

McIlroy's issues with his putts were particularly costly – an all too familiar tale in professional golf where pressure can often prove as detrimental as a wayward drive.
