Rory McIlroy continued to battle an ongoing back injury during the second round of the Tour Championship, but offered up some optimism over any long-term concerns for his fitness.
McIlroy suffered a back spasm prior to the tournament starting which left him unable to address the ball on Wednesday prior to the first round. The Northern Irishman recorded a level-par round on Thursday though, before continuing his fightback with a three-under-par 67 on Friday at East Lake.
