ABU DHABI - Rory McIlroy made 11 birdies and shot 9-under 63 at the Abu Dhabi Championship, leaving him one stroke off the lead, according to an ABC News wire report.
The ABC News report named the leaders as Rahm, Hatton and Laporta and said McIlroy trailed them by one shot. It described his round as a rebound from a first-round penalty controversy, but the summary does not explain what that controversy involved.
BBC News later reported the standings after the third round of the tournament. According to its BBC News article on the Abu Dhabi Championship, Jon Rahm led Tyrrell Hatton and Francesca Laporta by one shot, and McIlroy by two. The BBC headline said Rahm "edges ahead" of Hatton and McIlroy.
The two reports differ on how far McIlroy sat from the lead. ABC News put him one stroke behind, while BBC News put him two shots behind Rahm after the third round. The summaries do not say which round McIlroy's 63 was shot in, or how his position changed between the two reports.
Neither summary reports a final result for the tournament or for McIlroy. Neither includes a quotation from McIlroy, Rahm, Hatton or Laporta, so the details available are limited to what the headlines and summaries state.
