TOUR CHAMPIONSHIPSeptember 23, 2016Rory McIlroyAtlanta, Georgia Q. Rory, when they reversed the nines here, this became a very difficult start to the golf course and you fell behind early. RORY McILROY: Yeah, second day in a row that I fell behind early. Just nice that I was able to get it back a little bit again today. Yeah, I mean, happy with how I battled back. It could have been much worse than what it was, but at the same time, I felt like I left a few out there. I think an evening on the range is required, trying to straighten it out a little and hope I don't make as many mistakes tomorrow. Q. 3 under on the inward nine. You spent extra time putting after the round on Thursday. Going to hit some balls today? RORY McILROY: Yeah, I'm going to hit some balls. I felt like my putting was actually quite good. I missed a couple, but I held some nice ones as well. Yeah, I wasn't comfortable with my swing all day. Even in the warmup this morning on the range, just didn't feel quite comfortable. So I need to go work on a couple of things. Q. Will this course give up a low score? RORY McILROY: I think it will. I think, if you're really in control of your golf ball and you hit fairways, you can shoot something low out there. As you see, Dustin is 4 under today. He was 4 under yesterday. I feel like there is scores in the low to mid-60s out there. Q. Rory, you're at 2 under total, and you're in the top three. Does that kind of speak to how tough this course really is? RORY McILROY: Yeah, it is. It's playing tough this week. I think the rough is just a little thicker. A little longer than it has been in the past. Yeah, I mean, even though I feel a little disappointed with how I played, but it looks like everyone else is feeling the same things out there. Yeah, it's playing tough. There's a couple of guys that are going low. I feel like, if I can improve in a couple of areas over the weekend, I still have a chance. Q. 7 of 14 fairways hit today, 8 of 14 yesterday. Is that kind of what's been your game plan so far is just doing well off the tee? RORY McILROY: Yeah, I've been digging driver a lot. I think with some guys might lay back a little bit, but I feel like I can be aggressive off the tee, especially with how I have been driving it the last few weeks. But when you miss fairways here, you make life really difficult for yourself. So I need to start trying to hit a few more fairways and definitely hit more greens. I didn't hit many greens today. So I'm going to work on my iron play a little bit over on the range. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
