Don’t Miss Rory McIlroy at the Valero Texas Open and The Masters – Live on Sky Sports!
Rory McIlroy put on a show during the second round of the Valero Texas Open, but unfortunately, he couldn’t quite catch up to leader Akshay Bhatia. McIlroy’s round included some impressive shots, including a birdie that came after his wayward approach shot hit a fan in the stands. Despite the unusual circumstances, McIlroy managed to sink a long-range putt and make the most of the situation.
McIlroy finished the round with a two-under-par 70, keeping himself in contention but still six strokes behind Bhatia, who sits comfortably at 11 under. The 34-year-old McIlroy expressed satisfaction with his performance, noting that he had only made one bogey over the two days of play.
Bhatia, on the other hand, had a rollercoaster round but managed to maintain his lead. The 22-year-old could potentially qualify for his first major if he continues to perform well over the weekend. The Texas Open champion will secure a spot in next week’s Masters if he is not already qualified.
As the Valero Texas Open continues, golf fans can look forward to watching all the action live on Sky Sports Golf. Additionally, the excitement is building for The Masters at Augusta, which will be exclusively broadcast on Sky Sports Golf from April 11-14. With top players like McIlroy and Bhatia in the mix, the competition is sure to be intense and thrilling to watch.
