Rory McIlroy raises concerns about U.S. Open practice rounds

Rory McIlroy expressed frustration about the scheduling of practice rounds for the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, set to begin in two weeks. After his final round at the Memorial Tournament, he noted that too many spectators on the course slow down play. McIlroy indicated that players often only practice nine holes, leading to longer practice sessions. Despite recent driving issues, McIlroy remains focused on refining his game ahead of the major championship, where he aims for a second U.S. Open title.
