Rory in the chase & Matt Fitzpatrick up there in the afternoon groups 1 behind Adam Hadwin atm
Rory smacked his club into the sand twice in his first round, after he’d taken his shot, isn’t that a penalty for grounding his club in a hazard?
Not after the ball is out of it.
Not seen what happened there but McIlroy just hit a double bogey on the par 3 3rd, takes him back to -1, leader on -4
