Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), who entered the tournament to check his sense of practice ahead of the Masters, is expected to pass the cut.

McIlroy tied five birdies and one bogey for a 4-under 66 in the second round of the Texas Children's Houston Open (total prize money of $9.5 million) on the PGA Tour at Memorial Park Golf Course (par 70) in Houston, Texas on the 29th (Korea time).
McIlroy tied for 30th with a 4-under 136 in interim total. Compared to the first round, McIlroy jumped 29 spots. Although the second round was suspended due to bad weather, McIlroy is expected to barely make the cut with a one-shot difference because the current cut standard is 3-under.

McIlroy has also won the Players Championship following the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this year. As the trend is good this season, he is committed to achieve goals that he has not achieved so far. If he wins the Masters, he will achieve the career Grand Slam.

McIlroy participated in the championship ahead of the Masters. McIlroy has participated in the Houston Open for the first time in 11 years. The Houston Open used to be held in fall, but he also participated in the Valero Texas Open, which will be held the week before the Masters.

I changed my schedule this year. In particular, the Houston Open was a sufficient condition to be held as a "Master's mock test" because it set up a similar environment to the Augusta National Golf Club where the Masters will be held. 토토사이트

However, McIlroy ended up with an even par on the first day. He failed to reduce his pars with two birdies and two bogeys, and in the second round, he made consecutive birdies at Holes 2-3 in the first half, and made bogey at Hole 7 (par 4) in the second half, before making the cut by making birdies at Hole 15-17 in the second half.

McIlroy said, "It was a bit dangerous at the end. But it was nice to finish the round well."

J.J. Spun and Nick Dunlap (USA), Kim Si-woo, Nick Taylor (copyright), and Nikolai Hoygor (Denmark), who competed with McIlroy at the Players Championship, are on the verge of missing the cut.

The third round of the Houston Open will be broadcast live on SPOTV and SPOTV Golf & Health at 2 a.m. on the 30th and will also be available on OTT service SPOTV NOW.
