Rory McIlroy faced a challenging 125th US Open at Oakmont, showcasing both his frustrations and fighting spirit. After starting with double bogeys and even throwing his iron in anger, McIlroy rebounded with strong play, ending the day with a 72 after a birdie on the last hole. Notably, many top players, including defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, faced early exits, underscoring the unrelenting nature of the course. Only a few players managed to finish under par, with McIlroy, despite his struggles, remaining optimistic about his chances.
Any golfer standing still was doing wonderfully well. They assessed four foot putts as if they were instead the Gaokao Exam.
McIlroy's admirable fighting spirit shone through, firing an approach shot to within 4ft of the 18th hole and finishing strong with a 72.
