CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, May 15 (Reuters) - World number one Rory McIlroy kept his word as he moved within one stroke of the early clubhouse lead in the second round of the $7.1 million Wells Fargo Championship on Friday.
The Northern Irishman said after his opening 70 that the Quail Hollow course was "there to be had" and he could hardly wait for his morning tee time.
McIlroy did not quite plunder the course in the manner he wanted, but five birdies in a flawless five-under-par 67 were enough to lift him into a share of third place with half the field back in the clubhouse.
