Rory 1 back of Schauffele after 67 at Wells Fargo
Rory McIlroy is just one stroke behind leader Xander Schauffele after a fine 67 in the second round of the Wells Fargo Championship.
McIlroy, a two-time champion at Quail Hollow Club, mixed five birdies with two bogeys to sit on eight under par, with Schauffele leading the way on nine under.
The Northern Irishman made a flying start with three birdies in his first six holes, but he dropped shots on the seventh and 11th before bouncing back with further birdies on the 12th, 15th and 16th.
“I’m happy with my round,” said McIlroy. “I felt like I played really well. I hit a lot of good shots and gave myself a lot of chances. I just need to capitalize on a few more of them tomorrow.”
