AUGUSTA, Ga. That its Friday and Rory McIlroy still has 36 holes to bounce back eased the blow, but his approach shot at the 18th hole that caromed off the flag and led to a closing bogey is the kind of bad bounce that can cost a player a major.But after two demanding days, McIlroy is still within sight of the leaders and at ease with his position on the leaderboard after a second-round 73 left him at 1 over and five strokes behind the front-runners.I know more than most what can happen on Sundays around here, good and bad, McIlroy said.
