"I don't really know what to say,'' McIlroy said after stripping the Congressional lay-out of its brutish reputation. "It's been two very, very good days of golf. I put myself in a great position going into the weekend. But I know more than probably anyone else what can happen, so I've got to stay really focused and try and finish this thing off."
McIlroy's caution was rooted in his experience at Augusta National in April where his Masters chance slipped away in a few ghastly holes. Who could forget the sight of this likeable young kid, head in heads around Amen Corner after hitting yet another errant shot? Actually, it seemed most people had done exactly that as the full impact of McIlroy's performance reverberated through the world of golf.
