McIlroy up for Mullingar challenge

A revitalised Rory McIlroy is licking his lips at the prospect of a head-to-head battle with Mark Campbell for the Mullingar Scratch Cup.

The Irish Close and West of Ireland champion is feeling full of energy after a three-week break from the game and is lurking menacingly just two strokes adrift of Stackstown man Campbell entering the final 36 holes at the midlands venue.
