SuggestedLeadIn: Early reaction from the final round of the 97th PGA Championship at Whistling Straits on Sunday (16 August).

Script: SOUNDBITE (English): Rory McIlroy, Shot a 3-Under-Par 69 (-9 Overall):

"Yeah, I guess, you know, with the conditions that we faced on the first day and the conditions that we faced today, anything, I thought, between 10 and 15-under would have a great chance to win, but obviously the standard is just so high these days that I didn't see close to 20-under par winning this tournament. But I guess for myself, if I'm looking at it as a whole, I feel like I've done well to come back and shoot the scores that I have. I feel like I progressed each and every day. If I was to take back anything of this week, it would just be probably that second day when we teed off in benign conditions in the morning and I didn't take advantage of that. Yeah, I'm walking away pretty happy with how the week went. Obviously it isn't a win and didn't get myself into contention, but considering six weeks ago I wasn't able to walk, it's not a bad effort."

SOUNDBITE (English): Rory McIlroy, Shot a 3-Under-Par 69 (-9 Overall), on his ankle:

"It's been great, honestly. I've had no discomfort with it at all. I've had to just go through all the stuff that I've been - I'm still rehabbing it whenever I get back, I'm still doing exercise on it every night and every morning, getting treatment on it. But it's good. It's good to play golf. As you can see out there, I'm hitting it the same distance as I have been, and able to get around 18 holes very easily. So it's not an issue. And as I said over there, the residual swelling that just sort of comes from activity, that probably won't go away for another two or three months, but it's nothing to worry about."
