McIlroy follows 63 with a 78 in Round 2 at the Memorial

Published

on

After opening with a 63 in round one, Rory McIlroy recorded a 78 during the second round at the Memorial.

McIlroy’s 43 on the back nine (his first nine holes) were the result of three consecutive double bogeys. To accomplish this feat, he found the water on No. 14 and double hit a chip on No. 15. Perhaps even more incredible than the three consecutive double bogeys was his ability to bounce back on the next hole, where he holed out to save par. McIlroy smoothed out his play with two birdies and two bogeys on the 12 remaining holes, ending his day at 6-over.

A seemingly horrific day could have been much worse had he not remained calm, which allows McIlroy to remain only nine shots back of Round 2 leader Paul Casey (12-under)

Photos from the 2024 PGA Championship

Published

GolfWRX is on site this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship.

While we see fewer equipment changes and new gear seeding at major championships, we get a look at custom gear and looks into the bags of players we rarely see, which is just as exciting. In the case of the PGA Championship, this means a look at the gear some of the PGA Professionals who qualified for the tournament will be gaming, and LIV players, such as Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.

Check out links to all our albums from Valhalla below and check back throughout the week as we continue to update.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.
