Rory McIlroy faced a disappointing round at the RBC Canadian Open, scoring an 8-over 78 which led to his missed cut. This performance, marked by a quadruple-bogey on the fifth hole, is one of his highest scores in PGA Tour history. In contrast, Cameron Champ leads the tournament with a two-stroke advantage, maintaining solid play through 36 holes. McIlroy expressed concern about his game, especially as he prepares for the upcoming U.S. Open, emphasizing the need to improve his tee shots ahead of next week’s tournament at Oakmont.
"Of course it concerns me. You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today. Still, I felt like I came here obviously with a new driver thinking that that sort of was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't."
"Obviously, going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways. Still sort of searching for the sort of missing piece off the tee."
"It's firmed up a little bit, but fairly similar to yesterday. The fairways I feel like were firming up a little bit. The greens slightly, but pretty close to how they were yesterday."
