Rory McIlroy delivered enough superb shots in a strong wind Saturday for a 2-under 69, giving him a one-shot lead over Matteo Manassero in the Irish Open as McIlroy tries to erase two bad memories on home soil.
Rory McIlroy - The Canadian PressNEWCASTLE, Northern Ireland —
McIlroy was at 6-under 207 as he goes for his second Irish Open title. He has yet to win in Northern Ireland, and it has not gone well for him previously. McIlroy opened with an 80 when the Irish Open was last held at Royal County Down in 2015. And at the British Open five years ago at Royal Portrush, he opened with a 79. Both times he missed the cut.
Jordan Smith , Erik van Rooyen and Rasmus Hojgaard also were at 3-under 210. Aaron Cockerill of Stony Mountain, Man., shot 74 and is in a group tied at 2 under.
