McIlroy and heartbreak at the Masters seem to go hand-in-hand ever since his infamous collapse at Augusta 14 years ago.

However, he almost pulled a reverse 2011 when it wasn’t his final round that fell away, but his first as he went from being in contention to ending the day seven shots behind leader Justin Rose.

But, as we’ve come to expect from McIlroy, he’s often one of the most exciting golfers to watch when on a charge.

It was no different in his second round, when he soared back into contention after his Thursday mis-hap.

After an early birdie on the second, he lit up the back nine with three birdies. The highlight though was a superb eagle on the par-five 13th.

His tee shot landed in the tricky pinestraw, but his recovery was stunning, landing his ball on the green to set up the putt that earned two shots back.

Nobody bettered his six-under-par round of 66 and he ended the day just two shots behind leader Rose.
