Rory moves into 3rd at Doral !

Rory McIlroy continues to take the golfing world by surprise, when he fired a brilliant 66 to go with his opening 68 to join the veteran Kenny Perry in joint 3rd place half way through the WGC CA World Championship in Doral,Miami.
Phil Mickelson sits on top on 13 under par.Phil has chipped in 4 times in two rounds and only required 42 putts.
McIlroy started on the 10th and quickly made an impression with birdies at the 10th,12th,16th and 18th.A birdie at the 4th got him to 9 under par. For the second day in a row he made bogies at two holes in a row to slip into the pack on 7under.
Then he decided to show his quality.A 260 yard shot to 4 feet at the 8th set up an eagle, birdie finish.
Butch Harmon was full of praise for Rory,as he described his game as better than Tiger at the same age.
Padraig Harrington is still in the hunt on 7 under par,but Darren Clarke +1 and Greame McDowell +3 are well down the field.

Phil Mickelson 131 -13
Nick Watney 133 -11
Rory McIlroy 134 -10
Kenny Perry 134 -10.
