"Pretty pleased with where I'm at on the leaderboard"- Rory McIlroy opens up about his performance at 2024 BMW PGA Championship

During the press conference of the tournament on September 20, Rory McIlroy was asked about his performance this week. The four-time Major winner acknowledged that it was good and stated that he was pleased with his position on the leaderboard.

Speaking of his performance, McIlroy said (via ASAP Sports):

"It's been good. I think it's been solid. I think 9-under is probably a fair reflection of how I've played over the first couple days. You know, when I've missed some greens, my short game has been pretty good and I got up-and-down. A couple key saves on 14 and 17 coming in, and then birdies at 16 and 18 were nice, as well.

"So yeah, overall, pretty pleased with where I'm at on the leaderboard. There's a couple of scrappy things in there that I'm industrial trying to sort of iron out of the game but overall, pretty happy with where I'm at," he added.

After two solid rounds, Rory McIlroy settled in a two-way tie for fourth place with Matteo Manassero, who also shot 68 in the second round. Meanwhile, Matthew Baldwin, the opening-round leader, extended his lead even after the second round.

Niklas Norgaard finished solo second, followed by Antoine Rozner, who jumped 20 positions after his remarkable bogey-free round of 7-under 65. However, the final leaderboard of the second round will be revealed after all the players complete their rounds on Saturday, September 21.
