GOLF

PGA: Rory McIlroy walked off the course less than halfway through the second round of the Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., citing discomfort from a wisdom tooth and mental strain.

The world’s No. 1 player issued an apology after leaving an event he won last year. He was 7-over par through eight holes when he hit his second shot into the water on the par-5 18th and didn’t bother hitting another shot.

On his way off the course, he told several reporters, “There’s not really much I can say, guys. I’m not in a good place mentally, you know?”

Luke Guthrie shot a 7-under 63 to take a one-shot lead over Michael Thompson. He was at 9-under 131.

NEW ZEALAND PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Defending champion Michael Hendry of New Zealand shared a three-way lead after two rounds at Queenstown, New Zealand.

Hendry shot a 5-under 67 and was tied with Australians Aaron Townsend and Scott Strange at 10-under.
