"I was joking with Joey [Joe LaCava, Tiger Wood's caddie] yesterday and saying, he could have came back and played like Honda and Valspar, two of the flattest courses on Tour. It might have been a bit easier for him, but he comes to two of the toughest walks that we have! "But yeah, just incredibly resilient and mentally tough. Yeah, to get a front-row seat into... he's feeling it, and he's feeling it on every swing, but to see what he did on that back nine... he missed a few iron shots but he got it up-and-down when he needed to. Made an incredible birdie on 16 to sort of get him inside the cut number a little bit more. "Look, he's the ultimate pro. Looking at him yesterday, I wouldn't have... if that would have been me, I would have been considering pulling out and just going home, but Tiger is different and he's proved he's different, and yeah, it was just a monumental effort."Had McIlroy been able to shoot a round of 70, he would have been paired with another friend of his, Justin Thomas, for his third round. By finishing -4, he will go out with Mexico's Abraham Ancer, 20 minutes before Zalatoris and Pereira tee off. The four-time major winner made some clutch up-and-downs on Friday but he will be better off away from the Tiger Woods spotlight on 'moving day'.
