Three-time winner and defending champion Rory McIlroy is hoping he can lean on his positive memories at the Wells Fargo to try for his fourth career title, even if all of his wins came on a different course. The World No. 7 is in fine form, having finished in solo second at the Masters in his last start.

McIlroy will get his tournament started bright and early Thursday morning at 7:34 a.m. ET with playing partners Francesco Molinari and Webb Simpson. You can stream the opening round via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+, or watch the telecast on Golf Channel.
