McIlroy’s Pursuit of a Second Scottish Open Title
Rory McIlroy has positioned himself well to add another National Open title to his career total this weekend. He followed an impressive opening-round 65 with a 66 in Friday’s second round, leaving him at nine under par. This strong performance places him in a three-way tie for the lead at the Renaissance Club.
During his pre-tournament press conference, McIlroy sang the praises of golf’s National Opens, as he has done in the past. Should he pull off a victory, it would be timely, as he will next compete for his second Open Championship title and seventh career major at Royal Birkdale.
