[Applause] Good feedback on the initial swing with the driver. Again, just anything just a little bit to the right of the hole, maybe a little bit past. You don’t want to come up short because of the false front. It can come off the front of the green. All right. rest of the line. [Applause] Good. An unforced error, Andy. Absolutely. Really straightforward bunker shot for Rory. It’s back up the hill into the green. That was a much easier shot than Scotty’s. into the [Applause] [Music] first Sand Wedge with that big tree framing the backdrop. And another good shot. He needs to make a bunch of these today. And he’s got the first one. He did exactly what he needed to do back at the second hole. Now put it in the fairway here. After starting with two dog legs, missed the first straightaway T- shot. And that’s got to go. Good chance that’s going to come back down away from the green. probably 15 or 20 yards there. You see club face wide open, slipping it right under the ball. Beautifully played. Two absolutely in play. Oh, beautiful. What a play. And two really good pucks in the last two holes. That was Rory’s 130. Right at the hole, right over the flag stick. Good. These guys are so amazing taking that sand wedge and hitting these little low runners with it. He’s going to have to smoke this one. Oh, a lot of people hit fives here, but they put head covers off of them. He looked like he smoked it. He did. Right on the front. There’s a good chance that’ll come back off that false front and go a good 10 or so yards off the green. Needed just a little bit more there. Let’s pick things up now to the play at six. Maroy chipping it up there and got it just about exactly high. That’ll be about four feet to save P. Good part. And as a final followup, it was pole and it was 274 yards to lead the tour that year. Rory cutting one right down the middle. All right, surprising to see him not drive it well considering that strength that that club is yesterday. It’s coming in hot and little right to left break to it. Just can’t goose this one. The ridge starts about six feet past the hole. [Music] came out a little hotter than he wished. Pours that one in. His sixth one put pound this one. They’ve waited about 10 minutes for the green to clear. [Music] 27% of the field. Tried to drive this green yesterday and there’s going to be trouble over there. Andy with has the entire green to work with. Nice line in the rough. Very doable. Look at this from Mroy. What a shot. One under par on the most difficult hole on the course. Now to Rory and Birdie. Just the right edger. There we go. Beautiful pitch across the green to get in that position. Here they come. Mroy works his way back to even. Three birdies on the front does help the shot you’re trying to hit here. [Music] [Applause] Stay right there. It’s perfect. Andy, I think Rory’s looked better this week when he’s tried to fade the ball. I agree 100%, Jeff. There’s a nice play. Stay there. Should be able to put a putter on that. It does. So, he’ll have an eagle putt or chip depending on what he chooses. Nicely done. One more one putt it would appear. Fourth birdie on the day for the four time winner here. Catapult him up the leaderboard. I think he likes that one. Oh, looked like it bounced in. 15 ft left to the hole. That’d be a nice play. Out of the sand, 80, but 50 yards closer than Scotty Sheffller. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] He’s going to pat his putting stats again. Maybe there. Maroy with the putter. Randy, he is playing for the local low putt prize today. No kidding. Officially 11 putts through 10 holes. The green instead. It’s in the bunker. Back to 11. You can tell how disappointed Rory is. Won’t in the stats be a three putt, but it’s a two putt, which he hadn’t even had many of those today. Beautiful left to righter here yesterday and put it in the fairway. This one has started left and it’s staying there. Find that rough or he’s got to keep it down low underneath these branches about 30 yards in front of him. That makes it even more difficult with this front left hole location that just went dead left. Can you get it to come out of the rough softly enough? Oh, that’s pretty good. But he’s going to have above the hole. That’s really good though, Andy. Pretty well done, wasn’t it? Maroy trying to avoid backto back bogeies. The speed can be so variable depending on how high you go. You do it right away. Our old buddy Ben Krenshaw was the guy who always took the highest line, the softest rolling toward the hole. So Rory had worked to get it to one under. He’s got to be really spin this one as much as he can. Spectacular. Incredible stuff. Just clean up all these short ones. Not a lot in any of these. Okay. Well done, Maroy. That doesn’t look like driver. breeze is left to right which messes with their heads a little bit leaning like it’s leaking and that one will run into that same bunker. That’s a pretty good place to be. No, he carried a little bit further and spun a little bit more. Still in a position where he’s going to have a good look for birdie. Yes. 322 that bunker on the right. That was long. So two for two in this fairway. A little three quarter hang on and carried it a good six, seven paces past the hole. Just saw this putt a moment ago. Seen a couple of them on this hole. Just all downhill. Get the right speed. What a good roll. What a good roll from Macko where I hit it clear. Not if there wasn’t mud on the ball. Yep. Correct. So Rory finishes with par. Remain at one under. Step aside. Got a 15. Captivating hole. You can imagine the feeling of Sunday at the 71st hole with a championship on the line staring at that. That one way right. Our tracing by Top Tracer brought to you in partnership with Rolex. Rory might have preferred that we didn’t trace that one. Going have to just pitch it into the UPS slope and let it trickle down the hill. Seen a couple players come up short with this one. Maroy. Good speed. Nicely done. Aaroy makes the same mistake that Sheffller did. That’s just shocking to watch those two miss those putts than any other hole on the golf course. found a way to get that one home. Well, kind of snuck in the left side. Oh, this is going left. [Applause] That it hit the roof of the hospitality tent and looks like it went in the hazard. Okay, that’s about hole high 20 yards right of the green. You can see it from overhead and you can see top of the golf ball. You get question about the lie competing on the weekend. Another look as we’re seeing this Andy and Curtis, the natural tendency would be the fear that that could turn over left. hard left ball being so much above your feet. Oh, kind of softed. It came out absolutely dead. He’s going to be a good 35 ft 40 ft short. Ladies and gentlemen, he definitely needs a good one here. Think he did it. He might have made it. [Applause] really hit a nice putt right here. A lot faster and a lot more break than I think it you can really tell. But you know, George, if his ball would have gone in the water where he could bogey on the last 69, Mroy, we’ll have 36 more holes to go at Quail Hollow.

  1. As a Rory fan, I wouldn't say he battled back. Yesterday he was 8 shots behind the lead, and after todays round he is 9. Definitely better than yesterday though. Needs to get the big stick dialed again.

  2. Huge Rory fan but he gets in this funk’s well he just throws away 3 to 4 shots a round!!!
    I believe he still has a hangover from the euphoria of the masters .

  3. Battles Back? He barely made the cut. He was one shot away from everyone asking, whats wrong with Rory??

  4. Crazy how much more engaging “YouTube” golf is then tour coverage now… let’s get some new shots, angles, etc…

  5. For some reason I just imagined Rory as Shooter McGavin practicing a long drive swing in private and getting all frustrated because he can't make it work.

    No hate just a funny thought popped into my head.

  6. Oh yeah anything if it’s about Rory the 24’ US open crybaby… he’s tied for 62nd. Y’all are garbage

  7. Start at the bottom of the list, where the cut line was and work your way to the top. There are about five names on there that you would actually walk out your back door to watch them play golf. That’s how boring this PGA tour is right now. They need some stars. Roy, Xander, Scotty. You have Bryson. John RAHM. Maybe Sergio. Besides that I wouldn’t walk out my back door let alone drive or pay to watch any of these guys (Golf).Goes to show you how much more entertaining YouTube (Golf) is now in today’s world.

  8. Yeahhhhh I wouldn't have titled this a "BATTLE BACK!!" Who decided to edit this highlight reel a BaTtLe BAcK!!! Huge gain. Hes further behind the leader after this day two second round compared to yesterday's day one first round. Wtf.

  9. Cant stand the prick.
    He gor very lucky at the masters and even luckier he made the cut here.
    His ball was 1 metre from the creek after another shit drive, could have been game over and a snivelling ride back to the airport.
    Youll never win another tournament McIlroy

  10. SO… he put himself in a lot of good positions but i just feel like there were tons of shots that were missing the yardage and going too long. I literally counted 3 perfect opportunities for birdie that were botched

  11. Rory……..Rory!!…………RORY ! RORY!………… ROR…Y!…….RORY…………………….WHAT? 🤨

  12. would be nice if you guys put the players position on the leader board up for the last couple seconds of the video 👍🏾
