<p>Rory McIlroy believes there are many positive takeaways from the BMW PGA Championship as he prepares for the Ryder Cup, despite not fully capitalizing on his birdie opportunities at Wentworth.</p>
<p>Ranked No. 2 in the world, McIlroy was among eleven European Ryder Cup players at the prestigious DP World Tour event, which precedes his participation in Team Europe from September 26-28, broadcasting live on Sky Sports from Bethpage Black.</p>
<p>Though McIlroy accumulated 17 birdies in his first three rounds at Wentworth, he expressed disappointment over "too many careless mistakes" that hindered his pursuit of the title for a second consecutive week. Nonetheless, he remains encouraged about his performance as they defend their title against the United States.</p>
<p>"I’ve managed a lot of birdies, showcasing some good elements, but the number of bogeys and double-bogeys was excessive," McIlroy remarked to Sky Sports. "With 17 birdies, my situation could have been considerably better, but there were just too many careless errors." </p>
<p>McIlroy acknowledged the good aspects of his game as beneficial heading into the match-play format upcoming in a couple of weeks. He started with a 68, followed by a crucial double-bogey in a level-par 72 on Friday and a third-round score of 70 that also featured double-bogeys.</p>
<p>Reflecting on his performance, McIlroy noted, "I’ve been holing plenty of putts and hitting solid shots, so regardless of what happens tomorrow, I’ll focus on the birdies I've made this week. That’s a sound strategy for a match-play tournament.”</p>
<p>Historically, McIlroy has excelled on par-fives at Wentworth, but during this competition, he struggled with the final two holes. "I feel these last holes have been on my mind too much over the past three days," he admitted. "I've aimed to excel without losing focus on my overall game." </p>
<p>Shane Lowry, who played alongside McIlroy and is also on the Ryder Cup team, expressed optimism following his own bogey-free performance. "I feel I'm striking the ball well and particularly enjoy my driving. While my irons haven’t been perfect, I'm pleased with how my putting looks," he shared.</p>
