He endeared himself to every 24-handicapper in the crowd from the deep greenside fescue when he barely moved his ball with one wedge shot, and then another, before pitching onto the green for a long attempt at double bogey.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t want to try to be making 30-footers for 6\u2019s,\u201d McIlroy said, after doing just that, sinking a putt that will be a part of Rory lore forever if he wins this tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got in in the least amount of strokes possible on that hole after what happened,\u201d he said. \u201cI made two bad swings today. I made a bad swing on the second shot on 3, and I made a bad swing on the tee shot on 10 and limited the damage as much as I could. Those two holes cost me three shots. But I stayed patient, and I knew I was going to give myself chances if I just hit the ball the way I\u2019ve been hitting it. Today was a really good example of just having a good attitude. \u2026 I didn\u2019t do anything stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy played his last eight holes in 3-under and said he \u201ccouldn\u2019t be any happier\u201d with his 36-hole position. Asked about the opportunity to battle the other marquee names at the top of the leaderboard this weekend, McIlroy said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why we play. \u2026 You want to go up against the best to try to bring the best out of yourself. And to see Collin and Jon and Scottie \u2026 up there and whoever else, that\u2019s what major championship golf is all about. That\u2019s what competition is all about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly don\u2019t want it to be easy. I want guys to go out and shoot 65 so I have to go and shoot 64. That\u2019s competition, and that\u2019s at the heart of this game.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
