Open misery as McIlroy switches focus to Portrush

Rory McIlroy three-putted and looked certain to crash out of the US Open and miss his fourth cut from his last five starts.

The defending champion, 23, was never at the races at a fast and firm Olympic Club as he added a 73 to his opening 77 to finish on 10 over.

“It’s a reminder to keep working hard,” McIlroy confessed.
