Absolutley convinced.

I'd say he could get close to 30 if he keeps fit.

Let's get the one first!!

Tiger's gone.

Rory's a far better player than Tiger was at this stage.

Tiger had already won the Masters at this stage and was world no. 1

Lets see him finish one off first.

Nuri Sahin · 17-06-2011 04:52PM

You'd think people would have learned from the last year let alone anything before that, that anything can happen (D Johnson last year (US and PGA!), Watney and Rory to mention 3 names). It's like people are trying to jinx him with some of the ludicrous and OTT comments being spouted.... again -_-

Aidric · 17-06-2011 04:53PM

Quite exceptional stuff from McIlroy, consistent brilliance in both rounds.

At the very least I reckon he'll be sitting on around a 4/5 shot lead tonight if he closes out this round steady. Yang would be the obvious pick to go low and close the gap.

brophya2007 · 17-06-2011 04:53PM

Another par to stay -11

I said IF he wins this.

Which I think he will. He could go on a roll. Plus he's only 22.

Anyone know if the highlights of todays action is on any channel other than Sky Sports?

What did he hole out from for his eagle?

How'd Harrington do y.day ?

Who?

PhilipMarlowe · 17-06-2011 05:10PM

Looked like a wedge that pitched 20ft over the flag, paused on the back edge of the green and trickled slowly back to the hole and died in.

Yea seen it replayed, went about 20 feet past the pin and spun back to roll down the green into the hole!

Magic man gone close (again) after another stunning long iron

Eagle Putt coming up

Puts this and this is nearly over. Providing there's no one later shoots 65+, he has this in the bag. He wont screw it up twice surely.

Ehhhhh, two rounds to go?

I can see no one scoring better than -5 throughout the hole tournament. So he has to drop 7 or so shots. Na not happening, surely not anyway. Bookies have him at 1/4, I think they know.

kmart6 · 17-06-2011 05:21PM

Ahhhhh how did that not drop!!! Meh -12...still take that!!

kmart6 · 17-06-2011 05:22PM

Phil deserves that for the way he's been saving himself!!

SuprSi · 17-06-2011 05:24PM

9 shots ahead. I know most of the field still have to play but that makes amazing reading. What a performance.

Ruu_Old · 17-06-2011 05:24PM

This is just wonderful. We could have four golfers from the island of Ireland going into the weekend. I just remember a few years back watching the sports news on RTE, all we had was "..and best of the Irish was.." way down the field. Brilliant stuff altogether.

LuckyGent88 · 17-06-2011 05:26PM

Just in from my round of golf to see Rory is 9 ahead :eek: he is obviously playing on a different level to the rest of the field. Long way to go yet so lets hope he keeps this golf up.

cm2000 · 17-06-2011 05:27PM

Barely half way through day 2 of a major and he's 3/10, wow.

Morrisseeee · 17-06-2011 05:28PM

Please please please use the 10 shot rule for the cut !!!!!!
