Other highly-ranked pros in the mix through 36 holes with competitive adjusted odds to win include
McIlroy has rounds of 64 and 66 as he prepares for more rain and weather issues at the Scottis Open. Saturday's tee times have been brought forward by several hours due to the forecast for afternoon thunderstorms, with winds gusting up to 40mph predicted for Sunday.
"I hit the ball really well tee to green, gave myself a ton of looks [at birdie],” McIlroy said. “Honestly it felt like four under was probably the worst I could have shot out there."'
The 4-time major winner and last month's U.S. Open runner-up added he'll "just embrace the conditions and sort of make the best of them.&# 34;
McIlroy (+700) is the favorite to win next week's Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in the seaside town of Hoylake, England.
