Rory McIlroy is just one shot off the lead heading into the third round of the RBC Canadian Open.
The Hollywood native mixed four birdies with two bogeys as he posted a second round 68 after an opening round 66 in Ontario.
But golf fans took to social media to ask who McIlroy's caddy is at the tournament as his usual caddy Harry Diamond has stayed at home with his wife, who is due to give birth.
Instead McIlroy's friend and former Ulster rugby player Niall O'Connor is on his bag for this week's tournament.
Speaking after Friday's round, McIlroy said: "It felt pretty similar [to yesterday].
"I think the course is playing a little tougher today. It's a little breezier and the course is drying out a little bit. It's still quite receptive, but with the stronger wind it was harder to get the ball close.
"It felt like I was scrambling for most of the day there. I had some really good up-and-downs on the back nine and when I did put myself in position to make birdies I did.
"I holed a couple of putts and then it was really nice to get up-and-down on the last and not give away a shot."
McIlroy won the tournament by seven shots in 2019, but the pandemic cancelled the last two years of the event, leaving him unable to defend the title until now.
