US Open: Rory McIlroy finds his groove on front nine to stay firmly in the mix
McIlroy’s second round backed up his point. He dropped shots at the 11th – his second – plus the 13th and 17th when reaching the turn in 37. McIlroy’s response was powerful; for a second day in succession, he played the front half in 30. He signed off with a tap-in birdie at the par-three 9th. “It feels like a sort of golf course where you try to make your score on the front and then try to hang on on the back,” said McIlroy. He will be eyeing a fast start in round three.
Wyndham Clark’s 67 moved him to minus nine. Dustin Johnson bounced back from a quadruple bogey eight at the 2nd to make a level-par 70. At minus six, Johnson is right in this tournament. Matt Fitzpatrick’s day included a memorable hole-in-one at the 15th. It was his first ace as a professional. “My hand was sore from all the high-fiving,” said the defending champion.
