ATLANTA -- Give Rory McIlroy credit for having a good sense of humor.The four-time major winner is the only European Ryder Cup team member in the Tour Championship field and spent a good part of the first two days struggling to find his form.That changed with a 66 on Saturday that got him into a share of third place, giving him a shot not just at the Tour Championship, but the FedEx Cup title as well.Inevitably, next weeks Ryder Cup came up, and McIlroy was asked about the comments of U.S. captain Davis Love III, who in a radio interview this week said the U.S. might have assembled the best team ever.Definitely assembled the best task force ever, thats for sure, McIlory quipped, getting plenty of laughs as he referenced the task force that the U.S. set up in the aftermath of another Ryder Cup loss two years ago.Look, its a great team, McIlroy said. They have a lot of very talented players in there. Theyre obviously quite confident. So you know what, its up to us to go there and try to upset the odds.McIlroy knows nothing else as it relates to the Ryder Cup. Hes played on three European teams starting in 2010, and been on the winning side each time. He has a 6-4-4 record and has never lost in singles.He hasnt had quite the same luck as it relates to the FedEx Cup. Despite coming to East Lake with excellent chances in 2012 and 2014 -- the latter year being when he won consecutive major titles as well as a World Golf Championship event.Both times he was overtaken for the FedEx Cup because he didnt win the Tour Championship.Now he can win the Tour Championship -- and still not win the FedEx Cup.McIlroy, who won the Deutsche Bank Championship three weeks ago, came into the final PGA Tour event of the season sixth in the points standings. That means he needs to win on Sunday and have Dustin Johnson finish in a tie for second or worse.So I need to play well and need one of the others guys to tie him and see what happens, McIlroy said.The Northern Irishman played well Saturday, making four birdies and no bogeys to climb the leaderboard. He is 2 shots back of Johnson and Kevin Chappell, in a third-place tie with Ryan Moore.It gets me closer to what I need to do, he said. I need to go out and play a very similar, if not better, round of golf tomorrow to have a chance. First and foremost, I just need to try and win this golf tournament, and whatever happens after that happens.It would just be great to try and win the Tour Championship, and if the chips fall my way, then so be it.

Anger over a narrow field used for a National Womens Soccer League match last weekend is drawing attention to larger issues as players fight for respect.U.S. national team and NWSL stars Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd and Megan Rapinoe were among those using social media to declare the field unacceptable. More broadly, Solo, the U.S. national team and Seattle Reign goalkeeper who has been vocal about gender equity in her sport, took to her website to decry conditions for players in the NWSL, now in its fourth season and widely considered one of the worlds strongest womens leagues.Solo posted photos of fields with crooked lines, sad locker rooms and cleats that she said had melted after practice on an unwatered artificial turf field on a sweltering summer day.The `We know things arent up to par, but were going ahead with them anyway, attitude, quite honestly, is a fairly accurate reflection of how the NWSL has functioned during the four years of its existence, Solo wrote. Its far past time that the women in our league start being treated like professional athletes -- otherwise, we might as well just admit that the NWSL is just a semi-pro league, and stop pretending like its the best womens league in the world.The NWSL did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment on Solos blog.Saturdays match between the Western New York Flash and Reign was played at Frontier Field in Rochester, New York, a minor-league baseball stadium. The Flash had to move the match because of a concert at their regular field.The field measured 100 yards by 58 yards. But NWSL standards call for a width of 70 yards.Images of the soccer field -- angled in the outfield -- quickly spread over social media, attracting the attention of U.S. national team players who had earlier in the day defeated South Africa in an exhibition to prepare for the Rio Olympics. National team players are allocated across the NWSL, but werent with their club teams this weekend because of the match.Lloyd, who plays for the Houston Dash, called the field shocking and embarrassing on Twitter. Alex Morgan (Orlando Pride) and Rapinoe (Reign) also weighed in, calling it unacceptable.CChristine Sinclair, who plays for the Canadian national team and the NWSLs Portland Thorns, posted: How is this ok? Not good enough for professional soccer.dddddddddddd 6v6 field?NWSL Commissioner Jeff Plush said in a statement following the match that the league had signed off on the move, but admitted it was the wrong decision in retrospect.As a professional league, we need to ensure that the integrity of the game is always respected both on and off the field, Plush said. We did not do that tonight and we apologize to the NWSL players, coaches and fans.No other womens professional league in the United States has lasted as long as the NWSL. It gets support from the U.S. and Canadian soccer federations, which pay the salaries of the national team players. But the league continues to experience growing pains -- including ongoing efforts to attract big-name sponsors.The field issue comes at a time when female players have been rallying for better treatment.Before the Womens World Cup last summer in Canada, former U.S. forward Abby Wambach led a group of player in protesting the artificial turf playing surface for the event. Players consider artificial turf inferior to natural grass.The group filed a complaint in Canadian court, arguing that staging the event on the surface amounted to discrimination because the men play the World Cup on grass, but it was ultimately dropped before the tournament so that players could continue preparations.Earlier this year, national team players filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming wage discrimination. The women, who are currently in contract negotiations with U.S. Soccer, maintain that the mens national team players are paid far more in some cases.Morgan also called attention to shoddy accommodations in one NWSL city last season, complaining that bed bugs were found in the team hotel. Solos blog expanded on where she feels the league has fallen short, including low salaries for players who arent stars or on national teams. ' ' '
