CORK, Ireland -- Mikko Ilonen opened a two-stroke lead in the Irish Open, while Rory McIlroy missed the cut by a shot Friday at Fota Island. Ilonen had a 3-under 68 to reach 10 under. He opened with a course-record 64 on Thursday. The 34-year-old Finn birdied his opening hole, followed with eight straight pars, then had four birdies and two bogeys on the back nine. "I wanted to at least get to 10-under par and I did that," Ilonen said. "It wasnt as easy today and I didnt hit the ball that well but I putted well and it was good enough." Northern Irelands Graeme McDowell (66), Englands Robert Rock (66) and Frances Romain Wattel (65) were tied for second at 8 under, and three-time major champion Padraig Harrington (67) was 6 under. The loss of McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, was a blow to event organizers. He followed his opening 74 with a 69 to miss the cut for the second straight year in the national open. McIlroy had a double bogey on par-5 fourth after his tee shot clipped a tree and ricocheted out of bounds and over the fence into the adjoining Fota Island Wildlife Park. "Ill be back next year and try and do better," McIlroy said.

Heres what the Soccer Saturday pundit is predicting in Wednesdays domestic double-header...West Ham v Manchester United (FA Cup quarter-final replay) Dimitri Payet scored a stunning free-kick at Old Trafford I fancied West Ham before the weekend and Ive got no reason to change my mind. If United think they played well at Spurs, with one shot on target, they dont know much about winning football matches.Andy Carroll was brilliant against Arsenal but I really dont know why people are on the Euros bandwagon after one performance, although hell be relishing going up against Chris Smalling and Daley Blind.United have never enjoyed going to West Ham, even under Sir Alex Ferguson, so Im going to back the home side, with Payet relishing the big game again.Charlie predicts: 2-0 and Payet to score first (60/1 with Sky Bet)Crystal Palace v Everton (Premier League) Scott Dann found the net when Palace drew at Goodison Park Well, werre obviously well aware of the Everton situation and Roberto Martinez cant hide from the fact that this gifted team are underachieving.dddddddddddd.This club has to focus everything on the FA Cup semi-final, although the fans demands mean Martinez cant take his foot off the gas in the league unless he doesnt mind seeing more banners. Roberto Martinez understands why Evertons fans are unhappy with their recent form. Palace got their win at the weekend which means they can relax again and I think, with Everton focusing on the cup, they will win again.Charlie predicts: 2-1 (9/1 with Sky Bet)Follow this weeks action with live blogs on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.
