The 35-year-old last won a major at the 2014 PGA Championship.
INSPIRED BY PLAYING alongside top rivals, Rory McIlroy grabbed a share of the US Open lead Thursday, saying he has boosted his chances to end a 10-year major win drought.
“Certainly the major championships I’ve won, or the ones I’ve played well at, I’ve always seemed to get off to a good start, and it’s nice to get off to another one.”— U.S. Open June 13, 2024 The four-time major winner has had increasing better US Open results for the past five years, including last year’s runner-up effort to American Wyndham Clark.
“I enjoy playing in these groups,” McIlroy said. “When you’ve been out here for 16 or 17 years, sometimes you need a little extra to get the juices going, and being in a group like that definitely helps.” “I really feel like that’s the thing that has served me well in these US Opens over the past few years, just trying to be 100% committed to the shots and 100% committed to having a good attitude.”
