Will Rory McIlroy Hold Out Against Matt Kuchar?

1 player in the world is contending, Tiger Woods is playing the weekend and a suddenly-polarizing figure still holds the top spot.

Let’s take a look at what happened in Round 2 as well as what we can look forward to this weekend.

First place — Matt Kuchar (-9): Kuchar backed up his 64 on Thursday with a nearly-as-impressive 69 on Friday.

Other contenders of note — Rory McIlroy (-7), Adam Scott (-6), Jon Rahm (-4), Dustin Johnson (-4), Justin Rose (-4): Scott was great, and we’ll talk about him below.

McIlroy, who hasn’t driven it like his normal self yet this week, has been rolling it so well on the greens.

He’s played six par 5s so far this week, and he’s played them in 7 under.
