Rory hopes to be the story

"If you’re sharp with the driver and sharp with the putter from basically 30 yards and in, that’s going to be a big key this week.”

The 115th US Open got under way at Chambers Bay on Thursday, with Rory McIlroy looking to rediscover his top form and challenge for a fifth major title.

McIlroy is a combined 28 under par for his last two majors, shooting 16 under in winning the US PGA Championship at Valhalla last year and 12 under in finishing fourth in the Masters in April.
