Defending champion McIlroy added a 66 to his opening 65 at the Renaissance Club.
Rory McIlroy experienced an unwelcome sense of deja vu as his putter misfired once more in the second round of the Scottish Open.
McIlroy briefly held a two-shot lead with five holes to play at Pinehurst but bogeyed three of the last four, including a miss from two feet and six inches for par on the 16th as he finished a shot behind Bryson DeChambeau. On Friday the world number two missed from a similar distance for birdie on the 16th and from nine feet on the next to trail Ryder Cup team-mate Ludvig Aberg by three shots.“I watched it go past the hole and didn’t look like it did much. Hit it straight but went a little left to right on me. Felt like I missed a good opportunity on the par three 14th and another one on 17.
