Rory McIlroy Near Cut Line After Strong Finish to 2019 PGA Championship Round 2

After shooting a two-over 72 during the opening round of the 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage State Park in New York on Thursday, Rory McIlroy needed a strong Day 2 to try to work his way back into contention.

Instead, he quickly found himself playing for tournament survival on Friday.

McIlroy started on the back nine, where he managed an even 35 on Thursday. That would not be the case this time around, though, as he got off to just about the worst start imaginable: double bogey, bogey and double bogey.
