Right back in it!Rory gets the par on 18 and signs off with a 66. Brilliant from McIlroy who holds his nerve to hole a tricky five footer for par on the last. What a difference 24 hours makes having been written off by many after a pair of double bogeys on the back nine on Thursday. But he's got back on track with a scintillating back nine on Friday, moving up to -6 after three birdies, as well as a sensational eagle on 13. He's two off the lead. He's right in the mix ahead of the weekend.

Monster eagle putt coming up for McIlroy on fifteenHe's sixty foot from the pin, where he will be hoping to get up and down to gain another stroke. He steered well clear of the flag and the danger on the left hand side. Fairway splitter from McIlroy on 15. There's a birdie opportunity here but as he knows well, it could just as easily go the other way. Big ten minutes coming up. For now, check out his recovery shot on 14. Quite the recovery on No. 14.

Rory gets up and downHe got away with one there with a lucky break bringing him back down from the pines. He putted from the hollow below the green and left it to three foot, and holed the par. Lucky break for McIlroy on twelveRory was way too strong with his approach on twelve but it rolls back down from the pines to a little hollow under the back of the green. It will be a tricky chip. From the sublime to the...not so sublime for McIlroy.

Conor McKeon: Scottie Scheffler has all the shots of Tiger at Augusta – but very little of the charismaAt 10.06am Georgia time, Thursday, Scottie Scheffler didn’t so much walk from Augusta’s practice area to the putting green behind the first tee box as he did lope there; head down, shuttered in from the world by his low-peaked white Nike baseball cap. www.independent.ie
