RORY MCILROY IS poised to strike after a stunning Sunday at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
McIlroy stormed up the leaderboard with a seven-under 64 to leave himself two shots off overnight leader Russell Henley.
“I am happy to have another chance for a win here in Boston,” McIlroy said.
“I have good memories from 2012 when I chased down the lead … Need to do the same tomorrow.”
Henley’s own 65 moved him to 12-under-par, one clear of Billy Horschel. Chris Kirk and Jason Day are a further shot back alongside McIlroy.
After an up and down opening two rounds, the world number one needed just 27 putts on Sunday.
A good day could have been even better if his tee shot into the par-three 16th had dropped for a hole-in-one.
“I don’t think you ever (know a good round is coming),” he said. “You just keep playing and take it one hole at a time.”
