Rory McIlroy had a career-high 11 birdies as he stormed into contention on day two of golf’s Abu Dhabi Championship.
The two-time Masters champion’s round of 63 saw him move to 11-under-par, and within a shot of the joint leaders – Tyrrell Hatton, Jon Rahm and Francesco Laporta – into the weekend.
McIlroy says there were “encouraging signs” after recent work with coach Brad Faxon.
