After Rory McIlroy’s meltdown on the second half of the back nine during his first round of the Masters on Thursday, there was some doubt he’d be able to charge back and put himself in a competitive spot again this weekend.

But, McIlroy quickly proved any doubters wrong when he started on the back nine at Augusta National on Friday. He canned two birdies on holes 10 and 11, then parred the 12th and followed that up with an eagle on 13. His eagle putt understandably caused quite the reaction from the crowd. Golf fans would love to see McIlroy finish his career Grand Slam by finally capturing a Masters title.
