The Masters 2023: Rory McIlroy day two tee-time and how to watch

Rory McIlroy has it all to do at The Masters on day two after a disappointing opening round yesterday.

The world No.2 finished on level par in a tie for 37th and is seven shots off the lead in a stellar field. And according to the latest Masters weather forecast, things are about to take an ugly turn on Friday and Saturday.

Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Brooks Koepka all shot 65 on day one to take the lead but defending champion Scottie Scheffler is just three back. He is joined on four under by Irish ace Shane Lowry.

With half the field departing after day two, McIlroy and Tiger Woods are among those with a fight on their hands to get into contention. McIlroy starts on day two at 3.12pm.

Belfast amateur Matt McClean started superbly yesterday but dropped off the pace to finish on five over and looks to have too much to do to be around for the weekend. He goes out on day two at 3.48pm UK time with Vijay Singh and Scott Stallings.

The first starting time will be 12:30 BST. Thunderstorms are forecast roll into Augusta at 5pm. They will stick around until 9pm, when they turn to rain and the wind picks up to 14 mph by midnight UK time, which is 7pm in Georgia.

The threat of inclement weather on Friday means the tee-times for all players has been brought forward by 30 minutes.

Wall-to-wall coverage from the tournament begins on Sky Sports at 2pm over the first two rounds, with Featured Group action and regular updates from around the course available to enjoy on Sky Sports Golf until the global broadcast window begins at 8pm on Thursday and Friday.
