Rory McIlroy has been paired with the world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele for the opening two rounds of the US Open at Pinehurst
Rory McIlroy’s latest chance at ending his decade-long chase of a fifth major title will launch under the brightest of spotlights after he was grouped with Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele for the opening two rounds of the US Open.
Starting on Thursday, McIlroy will take on what is billed as the toughest test in golf on a tailwind of confidence after his second win of the year at the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow last month, following it with three successive top-20 finishes including fourth at the RBC Canadian Open two weeks ago.
“I would say embracing the difficult conditions, embracing the style of golf needed to contend at a US Open, embracing patience,” said McIlroy, whose last major triumph came in the 2014 US PGA when it was staged in August. “Honestly, embracing what I would have called ‘boring’ back in the day.“Explosiveness isn’t going to win a US Open. It’s more methodically building your score over the course of four days and being OK with that.
