Rory Mcilroy 18th Eagle of his second round at Pebble Beach Pro-AM on Friday, pushing him to eight under and six shots from leader sepp straka.
Mcilroy – who hit a hole in one day first – made a great start on the second day and was four under the first 11 holes.
After that, the 35-year-old’s shape was crashed while playing 13-17 four holes over money, but he then ended up with a vintage eagle in the last to remain in the quarrel.
Austria’s Straka opened a three -stroke lead at the top, firing its second direct round of 65. Straka followed a strong round of opening in the Spyglass Hill Golf Course hitting eight birds and just a trick.
On 14th Nine 130, Straka is calm in front of Russell Henley (69, Pebble Beach) and Australian Cam Davis (68, Spyglass Hill), bound for the second on 11 under.
Andrew Novak fired a 65 in the Spyglass Hill and Tony Finau posted a 67 there to join a tie for the fourth under South Kim Tom Kim (65, Pebble Beach), Justin Rose of England (69, Spyglass Hill) and Austin Eckroat (67, Pebble Beach).
On eight under the tour, Mcilroy is associated with the 13th with other big names including Collin Morikawa (67, Pebble Beach), Patrick Cantlay (70, Spyglass Hill) and Irishman Shane Lowry (70, Spyglass Hill).
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is in a tie in seven after the 70 post on Pebble Beach. The three Scheffler birds on Friday were in a three -hole extension between the sixth and the eighth. He has been competing for the first time since he injured his hand while cooking a month ago.
Eighty players were eligible to compete in the signing event, but Sweden’s Ludwig Aberg withdrew Friday citing a disease the day after falling in last with a first opening 77.
