If McIlroy does the miss the cut, it would be his second missed cut of the season and his first since the Valero Texas Open in April.

McIlroy shot even-par 70 on Thursday, and had a solid round going on Friday after birdies on hole Nos. 1 and 2 following a bogey on No. 18 after his tee shot found the water.

But a wayward tee shot short and left on No.. 6 forced McIlroy to lay up, and a par putt from 16 feet slid past the hole.

On hole No. 9, McIlroy's tee shot went into the right rough. His approach went well past the green, and he could only manage a lengthy par putt that fell short.
