Rory McIlroy Surprisingly Dealt Bad News Ahead of U.S. Open
Rory McIlroy Surprisingly Dealt Bad News Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rory McIlroy heads into the U.S. Open with his game in a less than ideal place creating plenty of buzz in the latest golf news. McIlroy is still among the favorites to win the U.S. Open but there appears to be a sizable gap between himself and Scottie Scheffler as the stars head to Oakmont Country Club. Advertisement Scheffler is a heavy favorite to win the U.S. Open at +275, per DraftKings Sportsbook. McIlroy is a distant second at +850 to win another major. Fans could see these odds drop even more after McIlroy's poor performance at the RBC Canadian Open. '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," McIlroy said on Friday, per NBC Sports. Rory McIlroy reacts after playing a bunker shot on the first hole during the second round of the RBC Canadian Open golf Hamilton-Imagn Images Despite entering the tournament as the favorite, McIlroy surprisingly missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open after shooting an 9-over par in the first two rounds. Advertisement McIlroy heads home while only having a better score than four golfers while finishing in 149th place after two rounds. The news comes days after McIlroy had a candid conversation with the media as the golfer claimed that details about his driver failing equipment tests at the PGA Championship were leaked. "Yeah, and also, the driver stuff, I was a little (expletive) off because I knew that Scottie's driver had failed on Monday, but my name was the one that was leaked," McIlroy explained to reporters on Wednesday. "It was supposed to stay confidential. "Two members of the media were the ones that leaked it. And again, I didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted either, because there's a lot of people (I'm trying to protect). I'm trying to protect Scottie." Advertisement Now, McIlroy will have just a few days to turn the page on missing the cut, a rarity for the star, as the golfer attempts to be in contention to win the U.S. Open. McIlroy is looking to win his second major of 2025 after securing his first green jacket at the Masters in April.

Rory McIlroy's post-Masters hangover continues after dismal second round at Canadian Open
Rory McIlroy's US Open plans are in absolute tatters. Watching his torment in Toronto on Friday night, it was hard to equate the player who missed the cut by 10 shots with the golfer who so magnificently won the Masters just eight weeks ago to become the sixth player in history to complete the grand slam. From immortal to backmarker. Golf is cruel. Out of the 156 players competing at the Canada Open in Toronto – an event McIlroy has won twice – the world No 2 only had three beneath him (although three did withdraw). Advertisement This was a low point, his eight-under 78 a golfing atrocity. In tournaments he has finished, McIlroy has never endured such a poor placing. Whatever way one looks at it, it has been a kick in the teeth, so shortly after he was all pearly white smiles. It is his only missed cut of the year and his first in 11 months. Granted, hangovers happen. But McIlroy's headache going into the US Open, which begins on Thursday, now appears to be verging on the insufferable. Especially as the American national championship is being hosted at the major venue that implodes craniums perhaps more than any other – Oakmont. A competitor has to be able to drive it accurately at the notorious Pittsburgh layout, with fairways so narrow and rough so thick. McIlroy hit only four fairways in this second round. He just about managed to break 80, but only because TPC Toronto is a par 70. In truth, it is not a tough track. The leader, Cameron Champ, is on 12 under, 21 strokes ahead of McIlroy. Perhaps his motivation after achieving his lifelong dream is a factor. But technically, it cannot be doubted that his driver woes are to blame. McIlroy's tee-shot game defines him and it was a huge blow for his TaylorMade Qi10 to be deemed non-conforming in the practice days at last month's US PGA. He switched to the Qi35 for this tournament, but he is struggling. Advertisement If only it was just the driver letting him down. He was plagued by a two-way miss and this was marked most emphatically with his quadruple-bogey eight on the fifth. At the start of the week, he acknowledged that motivation is a problem after achieving his lifelong dream. Yet Oakmont is no place to head when the technique is off and the mind is not sharp. In his absence, Champ takes a two-shot lead into the weekend over fellow American Andrew Putman. Irishman Shane Lowry is only two further off the pace on eight-under, after a 68. England's Danny Willett is on seven-under on a congested leaderboard. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Rory McIlroy misses cut at Canadian Open after dismal second round
Rory McIlroy has missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open after shooting a dismal second-round 78 on Friday. The Masters champion carded a quadruple bogey, a double bogey and four other bogeys in an eight-over-par round that left him languishing well down the leaderboard on nine over. The world No2 was some 21 shots behind Cameron Champ, who looked set to take the halfway lead after carding a blemish-free 66 to reach 12 under. It is the first time McIlroy has missed the cut since the Open at Royal Troon last July and continues a troubled build-up to next week's US Open. There was better news for Irishman Shane Lowry, whose two-under-par 68 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley took him to eight under and into contention heading into the weekend. 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. 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. The only relief came with birdies on the 15th and at the last.
