The timing and location of this week s PGA Championship at Kiawah Island s Ocean Course work out nicely for Rory McIlroy.

Only the inclement weather provided a common denominator to the events as Kieran competed for the honour and glory of the county and Seamus chased a share of the $8.1 million prize fund on offer for the PGA event.
