Rory McIlroy is firmly back in contention at The Masters after a superb second-round display from the World No.2 at Augusta National.
A costly finish from McIlroy on Thursday saw the Northern Irishman end the first round seven shots off the pace.
But McIlroy responded in fine style on Friday, shooting the low round of the day – a bogey-free 66 – to rocket himself back up the leaderboard and within two strokes of the leader, Justin Rose.
A one-under-par round from Rose saw him reach -8, but the veteran Englishman has plenty for company, with US Open champion Bryson DeCheambeau just one shot back on -7.
Canada’s Correy Conners joins McIlroy on six-under-par, while defending champion Scottie Scheffler and former Open champion Shane Lowry are two of the four names poised at -5 and three back of the lead.
Attention now turns to the third round and here is everything you need to know, including the tee times TV schedule, start time, and how to watch and stream in the UK.
