Quick Quotes


Q. You told us yesterday you were rusty. Give us your assessment today.

RORY McILROY: Yeah, sort of similar to yesterday. I got off to a decent start again. A couple under through nine and then yeah, just some loose shots coming in. I was sort of -- I hit a putt on 11 that I was a little aggressive with and missed the one coming back.

Yeah, just didn't -- I was trying to make some birdies on the back nine and get something going and I couldn't. I was just stuck in neutral all day.

Q. You've shot 66 or better here a dozen times. We know you can go low on this golf course. Do you feel there's one out there for you tomorrow?

RORY McILROY: Yeah, I do. I do feel there is. I hit eight out of nine greens on the front nine and I played nicely and I didn't putt as well as I did yesterday. There is a low one out there and obviously I'm going to need a low one to get myself back in the tournament.
