SOUTHPORT, England (AP) --- Rory McIlroy looks to have done enough to make it
to the weekend at Royal Birkdale.
He'll have to do much, much more to lift the claret jug.
The world No. 2 bounced back with a 3-under 67 in the second round at the
British Open on Friday and moved to 1-under par overall.
At the midway part of the second round, the projected cut was at level par.
McIlroy was seven shots off the clubhouse lead held by Lucas Herbert, on
8-under par, after the Australian's 62 that matched the record score at a major.
McIlroy, who won the Open just down the road in Hoylake in 2014, struggled on
the greens in shooting 72 on Thursday.
