McIlroy reveals aggressive strategy to force way back into Open title hunt

Rory McIlroy is ready to attack Royal Birkdale with the driver as much as possible as he targets a fast start to force his way back into contention at The 154th Open.

McIlroy bounced back from an opening-round 72 to post a three-under 67 in the best of Friday's conditions, mixing four birdies with a lone bogey to leave himself seven strokes behind clubhouse leader Lucas Herbert.
