Rory McIlroy said he is “very excited” after shooting a second round 71 to go into the weekend three under par at Augusta. The Northern Irishman made a good start to his round with back-to-back birdies at two and three but followed that up with a double bogey at four and a bogey at the fifth.After bogey at 11, McIlroy birdied three of his final eight holes to put himself in a strong position going into the weekend, five years on from surrendering a commanding lead in the final round at the Masters.Im very excited, its my best position going into the weekend at Augusta for a long time and hopefully I can go out there tomorrow and battle again, he told Sky Sports.I think the conditions are going to be very similar again so hopefully I can play another good round of golf and give myself a great chance on Sunday.McIlroy admitted that he likes to be aware of his position on the leaderboard when he is out on course.I knew what was going on, Im a bit of a leaderboard watcher and I like to know where I stand, at least going into the weekend, he added. McIlroy admitted that he is a bit of a leaderboard watcher I think three under is the best in the clubhouse right now and if no one does anything on the back nine, I want to try and get into that final group.Thats the position Im in at the minute, well see where that finishes at the end of the day but that was my objective over the last few holes and thankfully I played them well.I came off the golf course last night disappointed with the way I finished, Im feeling a lot better after that finish today.Im in a great position going into the weekend, obviously Jordan still has a few holes to play so well see where he finishes up but I like where Im at going into the weekend.Meanwhile, Shane Lowry blamed mental errors for a second round of 76 which dropped him down the leaderboard on a testing second day of the Masters. Shane Lowry shot 76 in the second round It was tough, said Lowry, who was joint second overnight after an opening 68.I didnt do myself any favours with the start I got off to, which was just purely a mental error on the first and second and all of a sudden I have two bogeys on the card.I felt like I fought really hard today and I was really disappointed to bogey the last because if I had been standing here one under I would have been really happy. I am still in a decent spot for the weekend depending on what the leaders do.You have to be mentally strong and tough and I managed to keep my head on quite well today and play some golf.

Australian basketball star Matthew Dellavedova is relishing the opportunity of stepping into more of a leadership role at the Milwaukee Bucks when the 2016-17 NBA season gets underway in October.Dellavedova was traded to the Bucks at the end of last season, after helping the Cleveland Cavaliers secure their maiden NBA Finals championship over the Golden State Warriors, but the new challenge has him excited about the next phase of his career.Leaving Cleveland was tough because I had a great three years there and they gave me my first opportunity, Dellavedova told ESPN.Winning the title is going to give you a bond with those guys for life, and the way the city embraced me made leaving even harder.But Im excited about the opportunity in Milwaukee, especially to step into a bit more of a leadership role. Obviously at Cleveland we had Kyrie [Irving] being the point guard which puts a ceiling on what you can achieve.A significant motivator behind Dellavedova signing with the Bucks was the opportunity to work closely with head coach Jason Kidd, someone the Australian has long admired.To be able to learn from one of the greatest point guards of all time in Jason Kidd is going to be cool, and something Im really excited about. I cannot wait.After guiding the Australian Boomers to fourth at the Olympic Gammes in Rio de Janeiro, the Dellavedova, 25, believes his time in the green and gold will benefit his new club.ddddddddddddDellavedova starred in the Olympics, particularly against Serbia in the group stage, when he dropped 23 points and dished out 13 assists. He was also prolific in their narrow loss to eventual gold medallists the United States.Coming back to the Boomers, I always play a different role. I have to look to be more aggressive, score and create. That always helps when you go back to your club team, wherever that is, and Ill be looking to continue that in Milwaukee.The Bucks managed just 33 wins last season to finish bottom of the central division, but they have a host of young talent, including fellow Australian Thon Maker and 2014 No. 2 draft pick Jabari Parker, and Dellavedova insists the focus is firmly on returning to the playoffs.We definitely want to get into the playoffs, thats our main target, Dellavedova told ESPN.They made the playoffs two years ago and looked really good in the first round against Chicago. It was a bit of a down year for them last year with injuries, but the development of their young players is really exciting for the future.
