US Open a race against daylight on rain-soaked Oakmont
Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — The U.S. Open turned into a sprint through the soggy fairways of Oakmont on Sunday following a downpour that caused a delay of 1 hour, 37 minutes as Sam Burns tried to hold off Adam Scott for his first major. Heavy rain began to leave large puddles on the lightning-fast greens of Oakmont that caused a stoppage in the final round. Burns was at 2-under par — 2 over for the day — through seven holes, one shot ahead of Scott. They were the only players under par. J.J. Spaun, who started the final round one shot back, bogeyed five of the opening six holes to fall four behind. Jon Rahm was the leader in the clubhouse after a 67 to finish at 4-over 284. ___ AP golf: recommended in this topic

Rory McIlroy closes the book on the U.S. Open. Now it's on to British Open at Portrush
Rory McIlroy closes the book on the U.S. Open. Now it's on to British Open at Portrush OAKMONT, Pa. – Rory McIlroy ended the 125th U.S. Open on a positive note. The Northern Irishman closed with a final-round 3-under 67 at Oakmont Country Club, which was tied for the low round of the day. He said he was pleased with his driving after fighting a miss to the right in the first two rounds. He ranks first for the day and second for the week in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee. Still, his 72-hole total of 7-over 287 had him T-23, marking a second straight underwhelming effort at a major since completing the career Grand Slam in April by winning the Masters for his fifth major overall. 'Look, I climbed my Everest in April, and I think after you do something like that, you've got to make your way back down, and you've got to look for another mountain to climb,' he said. McIlroy won't have to wait long to find new inspiration. While he will play at the Travelers Championship in Hartford, June 19-22, and the Genesis Scottish Open in July, he has his sights set on another mountain, the 153rd British Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. 'If I can't get motivated to get up for an Open Championship at home, then I don't know what can motivate me,' he said. 'I just need to get myself in the right frame of mind. I probably haven't been there the last few weeks.' McIlroy missed the cut when the Open returned to the Emerald Isle in 2019 for the first time since 1951. It's back there just six years later. Taking a page out of the Bill Belichick playbook, McIlroy sounded as if he was on to Royal Portrush, a course that holds many fond memories. 'Playing an Open at Portrush already and sort of at least remembering what those feelings were like and those feelings that I was probably unprepared for at the time,' he said. 'I didn't realize how emotional I was going to be at Portrush. I think that was a thing I was unprepared for more than anything else. I remember I hit a shot into 12 or 13 Friday night obviously trying to make the cut. I remember the roar I got when the ball hit the green, and I felt like I was about to burst into tears. Just that support and that love from your own people. So I was unprepared for that. I need to just get myself in the right frame of mind to feel those feelings again.' McIlroy visited his family back in Northern Ireland shortly after his victory at Augusta National but called it the first time he would be back to celebrate with his adoring fans at home. 'Hopefully I can celebrate with them on Sunday night with the Claret Jug and the Green Jacket,' he said.

Ryder Cup Captain 'Disappointed' in Rory McIlroy's U.S. Open Comments
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Rory McIlroy has had quite a couple of months. In April, he became the sixth man ever to complete the career grand slam, winning the 2025 Masters. He joined Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Players, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. McIlroy was playing so phenomenally at that point, many wondered how many majors he would go on to win. Here we are two months later and the narrative has changed drastically. After his driver was deemed nonconforming by the USGA at the PGA Championship, McIlroy opted not to speak to the media after each round. The same occurred the following week, as McIlroy posted the worst 36-hole finish of his PGA Tour career. He, understandably, did not speak last week. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 15: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland reacts to his second shot on the 10th hole during the final round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 15,...

(Photo by) MoreFollowing his third round of the U.S. Open, he finally did address the media. He was rather blunt when asked about not speaking with the media. "It's more a frustration with you guys," McIlroy said. "I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do," he added shortly after. Paul McGinley, the winning 2014 Ryder Cup captain for Europe, was not a fan of what McIlroy had to say. "I didn't enjoy them. I don't like to see that, Rory McIlroy is better than that. Either not talking to the media or giving a press conference like that doesn't serve him fairly or rightly for the person that he is," McGinley said at the U.S. Open on Live From. "He looks fed up to me. He looks like he's had enough of everything. Whether it was the emotional release of everything that's gone on in his career, I don't know, but he's not himself." McGinley then hinted at maybe something off the course being in play. "I'm disappointed for Rory that it's come to that. Something is eating at him. He has not let us know what that is, but there's something not right." McIlroy admitted after his final round Sunday that he 'climbed his Everest' when he won the Masters. He went on to detail his mental struggles since that time, and how difficult it has been for him to remain focused. What do you think? Do you believe there is something else at play here?
