Rory McIlroy struggles at U.S. Open, finishes six over at Shinnecock
Summary

Rory McIlroy's U.S. Open week at Shinnecock Hills culminated in disappointment as he finished six over par. After a promising start with a 66-foot birdie, McIlroy faced a series of bogeys on Sunday, struggling with his performance, including missing a crucial two-foot par putt. His back nine collapse on Saturday cost him a potential shot at the title, and by Sunday, he could only muster brief flashes of form. With minimal expectations entering the final round, McIlroy's hopes to mount a strong charge diminished early in his round.
