Not McIlroy’s best drive at the 13th, he hit it into some of the thicker rough, well down there though. Horschel is middle of the fairway. Here was Rory’s drive at the previous hole:
Manassero from the bunker hits the middle of the green, takes his medicine. Horschel’s wedge is not great and just misses the green. McIlroy’s drive was by far the longest of the day, 333 yards, and only has just over 60 yards to the green. It’s a good lie. It’s a decent wedge but down the hill and 13 feet.Big drive by Rory at the 11th, will be a short wedge in at the par 4, but in the semi-rough. Needs to hit it closer though this time, not giving himself enough makeable birdie putts.
Some 90 feet for McIlroy up the slope and it’s a great lag putt to about five feet. Par for McIlroy, good work for it in the end.is chasing the lead of Matteo Manassero, who is looking for his biggest win since he became the youngest winner of this tournament in 2013. The Italian has been to hell and back with his game, and his victory would be a popular one. McIlroy is three behind the lead at 16 under as it stands and has had an average start on a day of soft, low-scoring conditions.
