NORTH BERWICK, Scotland (AP) — Masters champion Rory McIlroy took another step toward emerging out of the doldrums with two big shots at the end of his round Saturday that led to a 4-under 66 and gave him a share of the lead with Chris Gotterup in the Scottish Open.

Although an unsuspecting pro is still searching for his first top-10 finish of the year, that didn't stop him from making a big splash at the Scottish Open.
