Rory McIlroy rallies on day two of the Masters

Rory McIlroy has fought back on day two of the Masters to leave him on two-under-par heading into the weekend.

The Northern Irishman started the second round at Augusta on even-par following a score of 72 on Thursday.

A double birdie on the eighth cancelled out two earlier bogeys before he saved two more shots on 13 and 14 respectively.

A bogey on the 16th turned out to be a minor blip as a birdie on the final hole gave him a 70 for the day.
