Home favorite Rory McIlroy successfully made the cut at Royal Portrush on Friday, marking the first step in his quest for a second British Open title. The 36-year-old golfer is eagerly anticipating the weekend's competition, ready to embrace the opportunity he missed six years ago.
McIlroy, a five-time major champion, expressed his excitement after carding a two-under 69 in the second round, leaving him well-positioned in the race for the coveted Claret Jug.

Despite challenges, including inconsistent tee shots, McIlroy remains optimistic about his chances, needing to further refine his game to contend strongly on Sunday.
