Rory McIlroy knows his form is a problem heading into US Open
Rory McIlroy admitted he is concerned about his form ahead of next week's US Open after missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. The Masters champion shot a dismal second-round 78 on Friday, carding a quadruple bogey, a double and four other bogeys in an eight-over-par round that left him languishing 21 shots behind halfway leader Cameron Champ, who finished on 12 under. Advertisement It is the first time the world number two has missed the cut since the Open at Royal Troon last July. McIlroy's round continued his troubled build-up to next week's US Open at Oakmont having been forced to switch to a different driver after his previous model was deemed non-conforming in a random test on the eve of last month's US PGA Championship, in which he finished joint-47th. Rory McIlroy missed the cut in Canada (Nathan Denette/AP) 'Of course it concerns me. You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today,' McIlroy said on the PGA website. 'Still I felt like I came here obviously with a new driver thinking that sort of was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't. Advertisement 'Obviously going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways. Still sort of searching for the sort of missing piece off the tee. 'Obviously for me, when I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me. Right now that isn't. Yeah, that's a concern going into next week.' McIlroy was already facing an uphill battle after shooting one over par on Thursday and his day began to unravel after taking an eight on the par-four fifth. That occurred after he fired his second shot out of bounds from the rough and was forced to take a further penalty after playing a provisional. He then missed the green with his fifth shot and needed three more to find the hole. Advertisement Things got worse from there with further bogeys at the eighth and 10th before he double-bogeyed the 11th and then dropped more shots at the 13th and 17th. There was at least some relief with birdies on the 15th and at the last, but McIlroy is preparing for a 'lot of practice' over the weekend. He added: 'I think there's still learnings that you have to take from a day like today. 'Even though the last two days didn't go the way I wanted them to, there's still things I can take from it and still things I can learn. 'I'm going to have to do a lot of practice, a lot of work over the weekend at home and try to at least have a better idea of where my game is going into next week.' Advertisement Elsewhere, Irishman Shane Lowry's two-under-par 68 took him to eight under and a share of seventh place along with six other players. Andrew Putnam climbed to second on 10 under, while Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen was tied third on nine under with Canadians Richard Lee and Nick Taylor. Justin Rose, beaten by McIlroy in a play-off at the Masters in April, also missed the cut after finishing one under following a round of 74.

McIlroy 'concerned' for US Open after driver issues
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy says he is "concerned" by his form heading into the US Open next week after struggling with driver issues at the Canadian Open. The 36-year-old missed the cut at the Canadian Open on Friday, finishing nine over par and 149th in a 153-man field. Advertisement The Masters champion shot an eight-over-par 78 during his second round as he struggled to get to grips with a new driver. McIlroy's previous driver was ruled non-conforming on the eve of last month's US PGA Championship, with the Northern Irishman going on to finish 47th in North Carolina. With a new 44-inch driver in hand, McIlroy found just 13 of 28 fairways in Toronto and he made a quadruple-bogey eight on the par-four fifth hole after a disastrous tee-off. "Of course it concerns me," said McIlroy. "You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today. I felt like I came here, obviously with a new driver, thinking that sort of was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't. Advertisement "Obviously going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways. I'm still sort of searching for the missing piece off the tee. Obviously for me, when I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me. Right now that isn't. Yeah, that's a concern going into next week." With play starting on 12 June, McIlroy has little time to iron out his issues from the tee. But the five-time Major winner says he will test several drivers in the coming days to find the right one. "I'm going to have to do a lot of practice and a lot of work over the weekend at home and try to at least have a better idea of where my game is going into next week," said McIlroy. Advertisement "I went back to a 44-inch driver this week to try to get something that was a little more in control and could try to get something a bit more in play. But if I'm going to miss fairways, I'd rather have the ball speed and miss the fairway than not. "I'd say I'll be testing quite a few drivers over the weekend."
