"I didn't get off to quite as good a start as I did yesterday", McIlroy said. "I just didn't build the momentum early on in the round like I had yesterday. I three-putted the fourth hole for par, bogeyed the fifth hole, and I bounced back well after that. But those are really holes that you're looking to birdie, and to play those two holes in 1-over, I felt like I was always just playing catch-up from there. I played okay on the way in, I just wasn't as efficient with my scoring."
