Front nine failings cost Rory McIlroy as Lee Westwood's US Open challenge fades

Former champion Rory McIlroy's US Open campaign veered from the sublime to the ridiculous as Lee Westwood battled to remain in contention at Oakmont.

McIlroy completed his weather-delayed first round on Friday with bogeys on his last three holes to finish seven over par, equalling his worst score in the event which provided his first major victory in 2011.
