Exciting Golf Action: Rory McIlroy at Valero Texas Open and The Masters on Sky Sports

Rory McIlroy had an eventful second round at the Valero Texas Open, where he failed to make ground on leader Akshay Bhatia. Despite a second-round two-under-par 70, McIlroy showed moments of brilliance on the course.

Starting the day with a birdie, McIlroy maintained steady play with five straight pars before a bogey at the 16th. However, his second birdie of the day came in a bizarre fashion at the 18th. A wayward approach shot struck a fan in the stands, but McIlroy capitalized on the free drop and sunk a long-range putt for a birdie.

Although McIlroy went bogey-free on his back nine, he remains six strokes behind leader Bhatia at -11. The 34-year-old is looking to find his top form heading into The Masters at Augusta.
