## Resource

Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry hung tough through a brutal, wind-and-rain-soaked second round at the Memorial Tournament, shooting 74 and 73 respectively despite costly mistakes—especially on the back nine—to stay within striking distance of the leaders. Justin Thomas, who played with McIlroy, called the conditions “insane” and praised their mutual resilience after the grueling round. With neither McIlroy nor Thomas competing next week at the Canadian Open, they’re likely eyeing a much-needed break before the U.S. Open. The wild leaderboard and punishing course set the stage for a dramatic weekend—can they rise to the occasion and seize the title?
