WGC BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONALAugust 4, 2012Rory McIlroyAKRON, OHIO Q. As of now you're right back in this. What pleased you most about your round today? RORY McILROY: I think everything. I think I hit the ball well from tee to green, and I took a few of my chances early on. Actually had a couple of big saves around 4, 5 and 6, and just finished it off well. I took my chance on 16 and had a good chance at 17 and didn't make it but then holed a nice putt for par at the last. Q. There's a sparkle in you as if you have your confidence back. RORY McILROY: Yeah, it's getting there, it definitely is. I've worked hard to get it back. The last few weeks have been tough just playing so great, and obviously my expectations every time I tee it up are pretty high, and not to live up to my own expectations is not nice, but I feel like I'm definitely moving in the right direction. Q. You used the word momentum. You get a feeling coming into this time of the year, but with all the big events coming up, you have a day in contention tomorrow and then the final major. It all seems to be coming together. RORY McILROY: Yeah, it's perfect. To get myself in contention tomorrow‑‑ obviously it depends how far Furyk is ahead of the rest of the field, but if I can go ahead and shoot a good one tomorrow and post a good finish or if I go ahead and get off to a really fast start and get myself right in there with a chance, then there's no better way to prepare for next week. Q. What is a really low number here? RORY McILROY: I don't know, I mean, Jim shot 63 out there on the first day, so I think that's possible. It depends on what the weather is going to be like, as well. I know they're forecasting storms, so I'm not sure if it's going to be breezy or not, but anything in the mid 60s around here is a good score. Q. When is the last time you felt this good? RORY McILROY: Not for a while, probably going into Quail Hollow. Quail Hollow was good, and Wentworth was all right. But yeah, sort of back in May. Q. Was there a point when you sort of recognized that it's gone here? RORY McILROY: Not really gone, but it just wasn't as easy as it was at some point. It's just stuff like working it out and finding a way to get back to where you were.
