The 21-year-old Northern Irishman, who lost his clubs en route from his US meltdown to Malaysia, hit five birdies in an outward 31 after a solid showing in Thursday's first round.
Three more birdies followed to propel him into a share of the lead with Swede Alexander Noren, who followed an opening round of 64 with a 69. "I hit the ball well and gave myself chances and made some putts," said McIlroy.
