GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Rory McIlroy and U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick are getting quite comfortable on next year’s Ryder Cup course. But Europe captain Luke Donald made a novice’s error after hitting into the thick rough at the Marco Simone club outside Rome and then hitting the wrong ball for a two-stroke penalty. McIlroy produced an eagle for the second consecutive day and Fitzpatrick had five straight birdies in the second round as they stood 1-2 near the midpoint of the Italian Open. Play was suspended because of darkness for the second straight day. McIlroy is at 9-under 133 overall with Fitzpatrick one stroke behind.
