McIlroy 3 Shots Off The Lead At US PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy is three shots off the lead at the half-way stage of the US PGA Championship, but Tiger Woods has moved into contention after a difficult second round.

McIlroy struggled to contend with the blustery conditions at Kiawah Island yesterday, dropping three shots to slip back to two-under par.

Woods holds a share of the lead along with Carl Petterson and Vijay Singh, who was the only player to break par on Friday.

Graeme McDowell is also in contention on level par, despite a round of 76 yesterday.

Padraig Harrington is two-over, while Darren Clarke also survived the weekend cut on five-over par.

Michael Hoey was disqualified after signing an incorrect scorecard following an incident in the bunker after carding a superb second-round of 70.
