McIlroy scrambles on moving day to get into position for second Irish Open title

Quick Summary:

NEWCASTLE, Northern Ireland — Rory McIlroy delivered enough superb shots in a strong wind Saturday for a 2-under 69, giving him a one-shot lead over Matteo Manassero in the Irish Open as McIlroy tries to erase two bad memories on home soil.

He dropped only one shot over the last 10 holes, on the 17th when he pulled his tee shot into high grass and could only chop back to the fairway.

He chipped beautifully to 6 feet but missed the par putt to settle for 69.“I definitely would have taken the score before I went out today,” he said.
