Rory McIlroy bounced back from a disappointing triple bogey on the 18th hole of his first round on Thursday with a sparkling round of 68 to fire himself into contention at the BMW Championship.
McIlroy started slowly and made par on his first hole. The Hollywood native gave a shot back on the par 3 second to slip back to one over for the tournament.
The four time major winner bounced back immediately with a birdie on the Par 5 third. The two time winner on the PGA Tour this year carded additionally birdies at six and eight to make the turn in just 33 shots.
