Rory McIlroy didn't anticipate an encounter with the native plant life when he signed up for the Texas Open.
Despite just such a happening Friday, the world's No. 2 golfer matched the low round of the day with a 5-under-par 67 and moved within three shots of leader Billy Horschel, continuing his last-minute preparations for next week's Masters.
McIlroy, who decided to play in the tournament late last week, had seven birdies -- including his final three holes -- and overcame a bogey on No. 9 after driving into the rough and catching his left shin on a nearby cactus.
