A +2 on the opening day of the British Open had Rory McIlroy teetering on the brink of missing the cut. However, the six-time major champion rediscovered his form on Friday to comfortably secure his place in another Grand Slam weekend.

McIlroy, results

With a 3-under-par round today, the Northern Irishman sits at 1-under-par in the overall standings, seemingly far behind the provisional leader Lucas Herbert’s 8-under-par round, but with a moving day ahead on Saturday to try and shake things up. McIlroy carded four birdies and a bogey on Friday and will be among the top seventy for the cut.

Under pressure to stay in contention after starting with a 72 on Thursday, McIlroy began with a birdie on the par-four 2nd hole after a sensational second shot that left him just a couple of meters from the pin. However, he hasn’t been able to maintain that momentum, and his long game on the 6th hole, where he first hit the rough and then the weeds, cost him the bogey.

In moments of difficulty, McIlroy reacted strongly. He closed his front nine with a sensational second shot on the par-four 8th, which gave him about three meters for birdie, and repeated the feat on the par-four 9th. Reliable with his putting, he reached -2 ​​for the front nine.

He missed a few mid-distance putts on the back nine, but not the birdie putt on the par-five 14th, a key opportunity for him as he had gone into the rough twice. Solid, with pars throughout the rest of his round, McIlroy has radically changed his performance from Thursday to head into the weekend. Saturday will show how far he can go in Sunday’s final round.

The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled «Rules of Golf,» is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
