Claim 3: “Rory McIlroy had gradually climbed his way back up the leaderboard heading into Sunday. He’s three [over par]”
MISLEADING
The claim states McIlroy is 'three [over par]'. However, the evidence from web searches states he is 'three shots behind the lead' or 'within three shots of leader Alex Smalley'. Being three shots behind the leader is not the same as being three over par.
