Rory McIlroy's Resilient Performance at US Open

McIlroy's Final Round

Rory McIlroy concluded a challenging week at the US Open with a notable performance. Despite struggling in the initial rounds at Oakmont Country Club, McIlroy managed to shoot a commendable 3-under 67 in the final round.

Tournament Summary

Although McIlroy faced difficulty around the cut line for the majority of the first 36 holes, his improved tee shots in the final round helped him finish on a positive note. Ultimately, McIlroy completed the tournament at +7, securing a tied 19th position and a prize money of $267,054.

Victory for JJ Spaun

The championship was claimed by JJ Spaun, who outshined McIlroy and other competitors. Spaun's outstanding performance not only secured him $4.3 million from the $21.5 million purse but also denied Robert MacIntyre of becoming the first Scottish golfer to win a major since 1999.

Looking Ahead

McIlroy now looks forward to the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, aiming to build upon his US Open experience. Prior to that, he will take part in the Travelers Championship before a brief break and his return to Northern Ireland.
