Rory McIlroy heads back to the driving range after slipping off the pace during round two of the BMW Championship in St Louis. The reports describe him immediately switching to practice after not sustaining the form he needed during the second day of the tournament.

Across outlets, the key point is that his performance leaves him needing to make adjustments rather than continue at the same level as leaders. The Independent adds further detail on his scoring, reporting that on Friday he can only improve his overall total by one shot, carding a 69. Sky Sports and Sky News focus more on his immediate response—going back to the range—rather than deeper scoring context.

Taken together, the coverage indicates a day where McIlroy falls short of the pace and shifts quickly into work on his game as the BMW Championship continues.
