Rory McIlroy considered US Open boycott

Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson were among the players who considered a boycott of the US Open, according to a report in Golf Digest.

The tournament has been beset by problems in recent years and tournament organisers, the USGA admitted they went “too far” with the set up of Shinnecock Hills last year after only three players broke par in the third round.
