Rory McIlroy survived the weekend at the Players Championship in Florida, despite a back injury and questionable form. His final hole saved him to 1-over par and put him into Saturday's third round. McIlory had been uncertain about his participation due to his back injury. He revealed that he would have added a tournament to his schedule before the Masters if he had missed the cut. Jordan Spieth also had a successful day, but ended up double bogeying his last hole. Austin Smotherman, who is 5-under par entering the weekend, plans to continue playing despite his wife's impending birth announcement.
