Rory Mcicroy said that “enthusiasm and excitement” was refreshed in a few weeks after moving to a joint share of the leading outdoor on Saturday.

The world number two fought to maintain its glittering early season form from the end of the 11-year wait to win higher with your first masters in April.

But the northern Irish rode into shape nicely in front of their gender number for the British openly in the portrait week.

Mcilroy made a four-legged couple 66 to move to 11 under the tournament, next to the leader overnight Chris Gotterup.

England Matt Fitzpatrick and Marco money are two shots after 69 rounds of 69, related to the third with Americans Wyndham Clark and Jake Knapp.

“It’s my first real chance to win after a master,” McIlroy said.

“I had a great season, but I said that too, when you did something, you dreamed of life, and then do it, it was a huge moment in my life and career.

“I just need me a little time and get back to the last few weeks and I’m digesting all that, I feel like I came here for this tournament with renewed enthusiasm and excitement for the rest of the year.”

The world number 158 Gotterup equalized the video of the exchange rate with nine birds in Bogey 61 on Friday to start on the third day, two shots.

However, the final day at the level of the level with McIlroy will began to follow the levels of a flat circle containing two birds and two.

World number one Scottie Scheffler is five from lead after 69 on Saturday.
