The Players Championship is poised for challenging weather with forecasted winds and storms. Rory McIlroy, who has transformed his attitude towards difficult conditions, is currently close to the lead after a strong second round. His strategic approach involves managing the winds and his ball flight. McIlroy highlighted the disparity in difficulty between the front and back nines of the course while noting his improved tee shots. The combination of his competitive spirit and weather challenges suggests a thrilling final round ahead for the tournament.
Since 2013, McIlroy's astounding 56 under par aggregate on the inward half here is 20 shots better than any of his opponents.
I think it's going to be really important to try to flight your ball and keep it under the tree line.
McIlroy had flown out of the Friday traps, chipping in at the 10th, his first hole, for a birdie.
The front nine is much harder, McIlroy said.
