VIRGINIA WATER, England – Rory McIlroy called it.

Asked on Friday after making the cut on the number at the BMW PGA Championship what it would take on Day 3 to move back into contention he figured a 7-under 65 would do it.

Thanks to a fast start, three birdies through his first four holes, and an eagle at the par-5 12th hole the Northern Irishman finished at that mark and was tied for 13th place and five shots off the lead when he completed his round.
