Rory McIlroy is currently competing in the Texas Children's Houston Open 2025 at the Memorial Park Golf Course. After a slow start to the event, McIlroy has made an incredible comeback by carding three consecutive birdies from the 15th to the 18th hole to make the cut, and this performance has divided fans as the Northern Irish golfer is on a quest to win his first green jacket.
The PGA Tour shared a tweet on X and wrote:
"From winning @THEPLAYERS two weeks ago to battling the cut line."
