Rory McIlroy demonstrated his familiarity with the Royal County Down course by recording a one under 70 for his second round, placing him tied for third at -4.
Despite a strong finish yesterday with three birdies, McIlroy faced frustrations today, managing to set up birdies on numerous holes but settling for pars instead.
Conor Purcell's round collapsed on the back nine, suffering from five bogeys, while Mark Power struggled significantly, finishing at ten over after several dropped shots.
Tom McKibbin's consistent performance, including a two under 69, has placed him tied for 52nd, giving him confidence in the hopes of making the weekend cut.
