Same happened to Bryson last year. Scrambling kept him in but it’s not sustainableMcIlroy was 90th out of 91 for fairways hit and greens in regulation after the first two rounds. Remarkable that he was in the lead to be honest. As soon as his immaculate short game has deserted him this round it's all gone to pot.
Usually his superpower. Surprised he’s not pulled 3 wood more.Rory's driving stats are the worst in the field which has put pressure on the rest of his game, he must start finding the fairway.
It's one of those bomb and gouge courses though which suit the big hitters. You're not overly punished for missing the fairways like at the US Open for example.McIlroy was 90th out of 91 for fairways hit and greens in regulation after the first two rounds.

It's all starting to look quite interesting for tomorrow. Even with a good finish, I doubt anyone will have more than a 2 or 3-shot lead with plenty of quality players in the mix.
Indeed. Young will also be rueing the first 7 holes when he was 4 over par. Without those he'd be 3 shots ahead.Cantlay must be rueing that 77 in R1 a par round would have put him in the clubhouse with a tie for the lead 1 shot of Rory currently.
