McIlroy was facing a fight to make the cut after his opening round at Aronimink, where he shot a four-over 74. But the six-time major winner recovered with a superb three-under 67 to take his tally for the first two rounds to one-over.
McIlroy has now analyzed his second round of the PGA Championship , as well as suggesting his strategy for his remaining days at Aronimink . Rory McIlroy suggests his strategy for the weekend of the PGA Championship When asked if he will be patient or aggressive in round three, McIlroy told ESPN : “It looks like conditions will be a little more favourable tomorrow and Sunday. “It enables you to be a bit more aggressive and fire at some pins.
But at the same time it does not look like there is any rain forecast, so the course is going to get a bit firmer, which makes the greens play a bit more difficult anyway. “I think you are going to have to pick and choose your spot, but it’s been a great test the last couple of days. ” The Northern Irishman also discussed one key area of his game after Friday’s round, saying: “I needed to try and find the feeling with the driver.
“I felt like a lot of the bogeys I made yesterday were from hitting it in the rough and wayward drives. “I felt like I found a feel last night and I definitely drove it much better today and was able to give myself opportunities to make birdies, but was able to limit the mistakes and not have many bogeys on the card. “It was a day to get back into the tournament and I felt like that is what I was able to do.
