Rory McIlroy is right back where he was on Thursday afternoon: atop the 2011 Masters leaderboard.
Masters Leaderboard: Rory McIlroy Regains Lead From K.J. Choi
He entered the clubhouse as the leader after the first round, but saw K.J. Choi leap past him by posting a 3-under second round to move to 8-under for the tournament. It didn’t take McIlroy long to regain his lead, however. He birdied the second to move to a tie at 8-under, then birdied the fifth to move into sole possession of the lead at 9-under.
Elsewhere around the second round of the Masters, there is a three-way tie for third place at 5-under between Y.E. Yang, Ricky Barnes and Fred Couples. Couples tied Luke Donald for the best round of the day so far with a 4-under.
Last year’s winner, Phil Mickelson, is nearing the end of his second round. He’s even for the day and still at 2-under. Tiger woods’ round is just underway with pars on his first two holes. He’s 1-under for the tournament.
