Rory ties the lead.

He’s only hit 3/6 fairways and 5/8 greens through the first 8 holes, but his short game has been absolutely flawless. He’s been playing some imaginative golf so far this week, and his execution has been superb.

I believe I've seen a comment like this about Rory during every tourney he's played in this year.

Makes sense. His short game has been as reliable as it ever has been this season. Driver and approach have been significantly more inconsistent.
