Rory McIlroy capitalized on a challenging start with an impressive performance on the greens, finishing with a 67, just behind the leaders. He addressed a heckling incident involving University of Texas golfer Luke Potter, who referenced McIlroy's past mistake at Augusta. Potter later apologized for his comments. Despite the controversy, McIlroy focused on his successful round and maintained a light-hearted demeanor with reporters about the situation.
"Look, I just made a mistake, and I take ownership for it. I apologise for it. That's about all that needs to be said. ... It's just a good learning experience. Yeah, I apologise."
"I'm really happy that I shot 67 today."
"No, you can't, because I don't want you to (laughing)."
"Just like 2011 at Augusta," with reference to McIlroy's 2011 Masters meltdown.
