Rory McIlroy reeled in a payday at the Memorial, signing for a 3-under-par 34-35=69 following his second round.

The Ulsterman reached the midpoint in 3-over 147 to survive the cut on the number. After an atrocious day with his putter in the opener -- his strokes gained-putting split was -3.908 on Thursday -- he was north of 1.740 at the conclusion of his second round. This was aided by birdie conversions of 15'11" and 23'5" at the sixth and 13th holes, respectively; he circled six birdies in all. He also poured in a par save from 10'7" at No. 2. While he shaved nine strokes off Thursday's clip, he hit only one more green in regulation (12) in the second round.

Rory McIlroy stumbled to a 6-over-par 40-38=78 in his opening round of the Memorial.

He hit only 11 greens in regulation and converted two birdies, both of some length. The first dropped in from 22'7" at his first hole of the round -- the par-4 10th. He'd have to wait until the fifth to circle the second, this time from 14'10". That either fell in was a relative accomplishment as he fanned on six attempts inside nine feet. That included four straight beginning at the par-3 12th hole where he four-putted for double bogey from 58'4". When he signed his card, it secured his highest opening round in 63 career PGA TOUR starts.

Rory McIlroy spun a 2-under-par 38-32=70 in the final round of THE PLAYERS to share eighth at 7-under 281.

McIlroy never really contended after an opening-round 66, but did manage to sneak out of TPC Sawgrass with his fourth top 10 of the year. He did most of his damage on the back nine, circling four birdies on a five-hole span beginning with the par-3 13th.

Rory McIlroy crafted a bogey-free, 6-under-par 31-35=66 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS, finishing three strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

McIlroy is 0-for-3 at TPC Sawgrass, but that the 24-year-old is making his fourth appearance already is impressive. He hit 15 greens at TPC Sawgrass today and rolled in six birdies. His longest conversion measured 14'5" at the 16th hole. It was one of five on his opening nine (holes 10-18).

Rory McIlroy leaves Quail Hollow with a 1-over-par 34-39=73 in the final round and a 4-under 284 final tally.

McIlroy looked like the man to beat when he brushed in a birdie on the seventh hole to go 2-under for his round and pull within one of the lead in real time, but a back-nine collapse ended his hopes at victory. It started with a poor tee shot at the difficult par-4 12th and an aggressive par attempt that led to a double bogey. He followed that with a bogey on the par-3 13th, taking his round from 2-under and in contention to 1-over and out of it in the span of two holes. He added a birdie on the 16th, but gave it back with a messy bogey on the 18th. He heads to TPC Sawgrass still searching for his first win of 2013.

Rory McIlroy settled for a 1-over-par 36-37=73 in the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship, dropping to 5-under 211.

McIlroy, celebrating his 24th birthday as he strolled the fairways of Quail Hollow, could not get the flat stick to cooperate. He missed putts from 2'4" on three, 5'4" on five, 6'9" on eight, 2'10" on nine, 5'3" on 11, 4'11" on 12, 5'4" on 14 and 4'7" on 15. That adds up to four birdie efforts, three par tries and an attempted bogey save from inside seven feet that failed to find their home. Should he have saved those eight strokes, he would be in the lead. As it stands, he is three off the lead and inside the top 10 at the time of his posting. He will try and go low in an effort to nab his second Wells Fargo Championship title on Sunday morning.

Overnight co-leader Rory McIlroy chased his opening 67 at the Wells Fargo Championship with a 1-under-par 38-33=71 to post the early 36-hole clubhouse lead at 6-under 138.

This wasn't one of McIlroy's better rounds. He hit 16 greens in regulation but curled in only three birdies. His longest conversion was a par save from 7'2" at the 12th hole and he missed four putts inside nine feet.

Rory McIlroy carded a 5-under-par 33-34=67 in his opening round of the Wells Fargo Championship, becoming the fifth to share the clubhouse lead.

McIlroy was the first of the five from today's late draw. He landed 15 greens in regulation and circled seven birdies, all of which dropping in from inside nine feet. He missed three attempts inside 10 feet, two of which birdie tries. The other resulted in a bogey at the par-4 ninth hole, his first of two on the round. He's been all or nothing at this tournament in three previous appearances. After breaking through for his first PGA TOUR victory in 2010 at Quail Hollow, closing out that title with a course-record 62, he missed the cut in 2011, and then lost in a playoff last year.

Rory McIlroy fired a final-round 3-under-par 35-34=69 at the Masters, ending the week at 2-over 290.

Coming off a runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open, McIlroy had high hopes entering the week. He was 2-under at the 36-hole mark, but a third-round 79 ended any chances he had to contend. In the finale, he circled four birdies to just one bogey to close out his week at Augusta National.

Rory McIlroy chased his opening 72 at the Masters with a 2-under-par 36-34=70 to reach the midpoint in 2-under 142, three strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

McIlroy hit only eight greens in regulation today but limited the damage to three bogeys. Elsewhere, after an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole, he circled birdies at 13, 14 and 18. The 23-year-old required only 24 putts to get around Augusta National in his second round.

Rory McIlroy settled for an even-par 34-38=72 in his opening round of the Masters.

The Ulsterman hit 14 greens at Augusta National today, yet swallowed five bogeys to erase five birdies. He took 32 putts. He carded three of his bogeys immediately after circling a birdie, so he never gained any momentum from the par breakers. He's six strokes back of the clubhouse co-leaders.

Rory McIlroy didn't win the Valero Texas Open, but his final-round 6-under-par 33-33=66 was good enough for a runner-up finish at 12-under 276.

McIlroy blitzed TPC San Antonio with all he had, circling eight birdies and giving back just two bogeys in his final lap. Entering the day, it looked like his main priority would be catching Billy Horschel. He was able to do that, but unable to track down a sizzling Martin Laird. Plenty has been said and written about the Ulsterman ahead of the season's first major, but it now seems all systems are go for the Masters.

Rory McIlroy threatened to do more, but managed a 1-under-par 35-36=71 in the third round of the Valero Texas Open to improve to 6-under 210.

With birdies from 4'1" and 3'9" on the first and third holes, he looked to be dialed in to take it deep. It wasn't meant to be, as he often found himself on just the wrong side of some severe slopes on the greens of TPC San Antonio. In all, he would circle four birdies and swallow two bogeys. He will have several late missed opportunities to consider when he lays his head to rest tonight. He hit the longest drive of the day in the fairway at the par-4 17th, but only hit his 65-yard approach to 40'10" and settled for par. He next was in a greenside bunker in two on the par-5 18th, but left himself a 31'10" birdie attempt from the wrong level of the green that he would miss. While his game is looking closer to being Masters ready, he will have plenty of work to do in the finale if he hopes to hoist the trophy in this event.

Rory McIlroy submitted a 5-under-par 35-32=67 for his second round of the Valero Texas Open to reach the midpoint in 5-under 139, one stroke back of the trio of 36-hole clubhouse leaders.

This might wind up as the turning point he wanted when he committed to this tournament a week ago. It's also the potential for which weekly gamers had hoped when they plugged him at TPC San Antonio. He hit 15 greens in regulation and buried seven birdies, including on his last three holes. The walk-off birdies including conversions from 26'1" at 16 and 12'3" at 17. His birdie at the par-5 18th was a standard-issue two-putt from 25'6". Earlier birdies included rolls from 21'7 and 14'6" at the second and seventh holes, respectively. Among his two bogeys was a three-putt from just inside 38 feet at the par-4 sixth.
