Rob Schumacher / USA TODAY Sports

A good round, spoiled.

Rory McIlroy managed to play himself back into the tournament with 15 impressive holes on moving day at Augusta, but erased much of his progress down the stretch.

The World No. 1 finished bogey-par-bogey, turning a potential low round on the day into a disappointing 68. 

He entered the clubhouse at 6-under and six shots off the pace, but figures to drop further back as players continue to score.

Jordan Spieth continues to set the pace, moving to 15-under with 1-under 35 on the front nine.
