Rory McIlroy has admitted that he enjoyed a "good day" following the second round of the Masters in Augusta.
The Northern Irishman holed an eagle on the eighth hole as a 70 saw him end the day four shots off the lead on two-under-par.
"I made a lot of good putts for pars on the front nine," McIlroy told reporters. "I didn't play my best for the first few holes but the eighth hole really got me going, really kick-started me.
"Then I started to hit some really good quality shots. Anything under par today was going to be a good score and I stayed patient out there when I needed to. It was a good day."
Australia's Jason Day will start the weekend with a one-shot lead on six-under-par thanks to a score of 68 on Friday.
