Q. What's your reaction to the 68 today?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, really got it going around the turn there to get to 4-under, and then I kept hitting good shots and had good looks at 11, 12 and 13, 15. Then I made two bogeys with a missed putt on 14, a three-putt. Yeah, there was a six-hole stretch there, seven-hole stretch where just sort of the putter cooled on me. Depending on what happens tomorrow, that's sort of the -- if I look back on the tournament, I may rue that six-hole stretch where I wasn't able to hole any putts.
Q. Shane Lowry was going what can be done out there. Your game is in general a very positive place. You've done this type of thing before. Can you do it again tomorrow?
RORY McILROY: Yeah, I do. I have to go out there and try to shoot a low one. I putted really well on Thursday, and then just the last couple days it's sort of deserted me. Yeah, I need the putter to sort of heat up again, and with everything else it's doing, there's certainly another low one in me.
