Tiger turns up heat as Rory flirts with cut

Rory McIlroy was closer to missing a third successive cut than challenging joint leader Tiger Woods in the second round of the weather-delayed Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village last night.

Tiger turns up heat as Rory flirts with cut

Just four strokes behind overnight leader Scott Stalling after a battling 71, the world No 2 found the going tough on a softer, breezier course yesterday following a weather delay of more than one hour and 50 minutes.

As Woods stormed to the turn in three under par to grab a share of the lead on five under par with clubhouse leaders Stallings (73) and Spencer Levin (72), McIlroy fell back to the three-over-par cut line with bogeys at the fourth and eighth and a dramatic double bogey seven at the 11th.
