VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Rory McIlroy missed the cut at the BMW PGA Championship on Friday after his game disintegrated in spectacular fashion in a second straight errant round at Wentworth, leaving his grip on the No. . 1 ranking under serious threat from Luke Donald. The U.S. Open champion made seven bogeys and two double bogeys in a 7-over 79 to finish 9 over -- a massive 21 strokes behind James Morrison, whose superb 64 gave him a four-shot lead on Donald (68) and first-round co-leader David Drysdale (70). McIlroys hopes had evaporated by the midway point in his second round, when he endured a disastrous spell of seven dropped shots in six holes from No. 8 to No. 13. He looked sullen and his shoulders dropped as he walked along the fairways contemplating a second straight missed cut, having succumbed to the same fate at The Players Championship in Florida two weeks ago... It revived memories of his infamous meltdowns at last years Masters and at the 2010 British Open, when he shot 80 both times. It was the first time in more than two years that McIlroy has failed to make the weekend at two consecutive tournaments, giving the second-ranked Donald a great opportunity to replace him as No. 1. "I might have taken my eye of the ball a little bit," McIlroy said. "Maybe just havent practiced as hard as I might have been. "Its a week Id like to forget." Only 13 players in the 150-man field have returned scores higher than McIlroy in this tournament. With a quarter of the field yet to finish, the cut is projected at 1 over and No. 3-ranked Lee Westwood is on that mark after a 75. Morrison, who played cricket for England at youth-team level, had four birdies in the five holes around the turn to put him in the lead. Morrison holed an eagle putt at the par-5 last, for the second day running, to put even more distance between his rivals. "Definitely one of the best rounds Ive ever had and probably one of the easiest, funnily enough," said Morrison, who lives a few miles away from Wentworth. "It felt easy. I wish golf was like that every day." McIlroy tossed a club to the ground in despair on Thursday -- which could result in a fine -- after opening with a 2-over 74. But he said his game was in decent shape, pledging to turn things around on a West Course where hes struggled in recent years. That turnaround didnt materialize. "Its something about the middle of this golf course I cant get to grips with," said McIlroy, who knew his round was in jeopardy when he bogeyed No. 10 for the second straight day. "I knew it was going to have to do something special to make the cut then." Peter Lawrie of Ireland (71), who shared the overnight lead with Drysdale on 6 under, and Alvaro Quiros of Spain (70) were five shots back. Tenth-ranked Justin Rose shot a 71. Donald, the reigning champion, must finish eighth on his own or higher to leapfrog his Ryder Cup teammate. The Englishman delivered a dominant putting performance to shoot a second straight 68 and move up the leaderboard at the West Course. "Im feeling strong on the greens," Donald said. "Every time Ive had opportunities, Im seeing the line and got the speed down and making some good putts." Morrisons only previous tournament win came at the Madeira Islands Open in 2010. A second victory would be a great way to sign off for a break ahead of the birth of his first child next month. [url=http://www.packersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-morgan-burnett-jersey-g...

Hibbert didnt have to deal with injured Cavs centre Anderson Varejao, the NBAs leading rebounder. Varejao missed his second game in a row with a bruised right knee. David West added 15 points and 10 rebounds and Gerald Green had 14 points -- with a ferocious dunk -- as the Pacers won for the fifth time in six games. Kyrie Irving scored 17 points on just 5-of-16 shooting for the Cavs, who are 1-11 in their last 12 games. Tristan Thompson of Toronto had 12 points and 13 rebounds for Cleveland, 3-21 in its past 24. With Varejao on the bench in street clothes, the Pacers enjoyed a size advantage inside and they outrebounded the Cavaliers 44-35. Hibbert spent the last 5 minutes on the bench after picking up his fifth foul, but by then Indiana led by double digits and rolled to a relatively easy win. Stephenson went 7 of 8 from the floor and added seven assists. With the Pacers leading by nine early in the fourth quarter, Green, the leagues slam dunk champion in 2007, delivered a jam certain to make highlight reels for the next few days. Driving the left side, he soared in the lane and hammered the ball in over Clevelands Samardo Samuels, who could do nothing to stop it. Green stared at Samuels and was given a technical foul, but the damage was done. Indianas Paul George, scoreless at halftime, had eight points and four steals in the third quarter, when the Pacers outscored the Cavaliers 33-22 to take a 10-point lead into the fourth. During an 18-5 run by the Pacers, George stole a lazy pass by rookie Tyler Zeller, drove for a layup and was fouled. He missed his free throw, but George poked the ball away from an unsuspecting Zeller and threw down a two-handed dunk to give the Pacers a 69-55 lead. [url=http://www.packersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-bart-starr-jersey-yl-81... Starr Jersey[/url]. Cavs coach Byron Scott decided to rest Varejao for the second straight game rather than risk losing him for several more. The 6-foot-11 Brazilian will also probably sit out Saturdays game in Milwaukee, giving him additional time to heal before the Cavs play again on Dec. 26. Varejao, who is averaging 14.4 rebounds and playing at an All-Star level, bruised his knee on Tuesday night against Toronto. Irving had a puzzling first half and a disappointing game. He scored just five points on 1-of-4 shooting and had four turnovers by halftime. On one of them, he drove the lane and badly overthrew the 7-foot Zeller but then showed some outward disappointment toward his teammate, who would have needed a step ladder to catch Irvings pass. Other than an eight-point flurry in the third quarter, Irving never found his groove on offence and settled for jump shots instead of driving to the basket. Sparked by a 3-pointer from Green, the Pacers used a 12-2 run in the second quarter to open a 41-36 lead. Notes: Not long after his big dunk, Green left with a sprained left ankle. ... Indiana has won four in a row over Cleveland. ... Scott is looking forward to having three practices next week. Because of Clevelands brutal schedule and injuries, the Cavs have been reduced to one practice the past three weeks. ... Zeller made his second start for Varejao and finished with 12 points. He scored 20 on Wednesday at Boston in his first career start. ... Indianas Tyler and Ben Hansbrough are the fourth pair of brothers in NBA history to play on the same team, joining Dick and Tom Van Arsdale, Dominque and Gerald Wilkins and Mark and Brent Price.
