Tiger well clear after blistering 61

Tiger Woods fired a blistering round of 61 at the WGC–Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, last night but Rory McIlroy’s struggles continue unabated.

McIlroy decamped straight to the practice range after another errant driving display on day two in Akron.

McIlroy managed to hit just five of 14 Firestone Country Club fairways in a round of 71 for a clubhouse share of 25th place with fellow US Open champion Justin Rose (72).
