Rory McIlroy Rebounds with 6-Under Round 2 in 2019 British Open

Rory McIlroy produced a stunning second-round 65 at the Open on Friday to give himself a chance of making the cut for the weekend's play at Royal Portrush.

After a dreadful first round, the 2014 Open champion shot six under par on Friday as he blitzed up the leaderboard on the back nine to finish on two-over overall. However, he faces a nervous wait to see if he will be back for Saturday or Sunday's action, with one-over needed to guarantee a weekend berth.

McIlroy's tournament got off to a horrid start on Thursday, as he made an eight at the opening hole and shot an eight-over-par round of 79.
