2 under par after the first 16 holes,he fell into the water at the famous 17th island green to take a 6 and following a bogey at the last signed for a 2 over par 74.It was always going to be a battle to make the cut of level par,and unfortunately Rory just couldn't get going. He only made 2 birdies all day,as well as 5 bogies and a double bogey at the 9th for a 77.
His 7 over par 151 was 7 too many,and left Padraig Harrington as the sole Irish man in the field.Padraig played steady for his second round of 72.
