It seems like everyone and their mother is pulling for Rory McIlroy in Scotland.
Eight years off from his last major, the Northern Irishman shot a 33 on the front nine on Saturday and followed that up on No. 10 with an eagle out of the bunker to catch up to the equally-on-fire Viktor Hovland.

As the crowd erupted in rapturous glee, the cameras caught Scottie Scheffler and Dustin Johnson glancing at each other and smirking knowing what they’re up against with the fan-favorite getting hot at St. Andrews.
Just look at Scheffler. What we’ve got here is—what we call in the business—a hell of a good time.
