Rory McIlroy made a direct trip to the driving range after the second round of the BMW Championship in St. Louis, where he found himself falling behind the tournament's leading competitors.
The Northern Irish golfer's performance during the day's play left him outside the upper reaches of the leaderboard, prompting him to immediately focus on technical refinements rather than returning to rest.
McIlroy's decision to spend additional time on the practice facilities reflects a common approach among elite golfers when their rounds fall short of expectations. The move suggests he identified specific areas of his game requiring adjustment before returning to competition.
The BMW Championship, part of the PGA Tour's playoff schedule, continues to develop with the field competing at Wilmington Country Club in St. Louis. McIlroy remains in contention to advance through the playoff stages, though his position after 36 holes placed him outside the immediate lead.
