Rory McIlroy remains in the US PGA Championship mix after shooting a three-under 67 in his second round at Aronimink. The round moved him to one over par, five shots behind the leaders with 36 holes still to play.

The BBC video item frames McIlroy’s position through his own post-round reflection, with the headline noting that he felt he was still “right in it”. That assessment is supported by the gap to the lead, though the supplied source does not name the players ahead of him or provide a full leaderboard.

McIlroy’s response also carries wider context because he is identified as the Masters champion and a two-time PGA Championship winner, having lifted the title in 2012 and 2014. For editors, the key angle is the recovery: a poor first round did not remove him from contention, but he still has work to do over the final two rounds.
