McIlroy makes big admission ahead of US Open
Rory McIlroy has admitted he needs to get his act together and rediscover his competitive drive before he tackles the US Open at Oakmont later this week. The world number two completed an 11-year quest to win all four majors when he took the trophy at Augusta National in April, but his game hasn't been on par since. He tied for 47th place at the USPGA Championship last month, while he missed the cut at the Canadian Open last week, but he knows too, that he can cut himself some slack considering his historic achievement at Augusta. Rory McIlroy holds The Masters trophy with caddie Harry Diamond. Pic:However, with the US Open teeing off at Oakmont in just a few days, McIlroy knows he needs to get his head back in the game. Asked if he knew how tough it would be to regain his motivation after his amazing achievement in April at Augusta, he said: 'I didn't know. Look, you dream about the final putt going in at the Masters, but you don't think about what comes next.' Erica Stoll, Poppy McIlroy and Rory McIlroy. Pic:The World number 2 added, 'I think chasing a certain goal for the better part of a decade and a half, I think I'm allowed a little bit of time to relax a little bit.' 'I think it's trying to have a little bit of amnesia and forget about what happened six weeks ago. Then just trying to find the motivation to go back out there and work as hard as I've been working, but at the same time, you have to enjoy what you've just accomplished. 'I certainly feel like I'm still doing that and I will continue to do that'.
