Rory McIlroy came into the U.S. Open so focused on snapping a nine-year major drought that he cancelled his pre-tournament media availability, and few could argue with the decision given he will start the final round one shot off the lead.
With a clear mind, the world number three has looked plenty comfortable at Los Angeles Country Club and mostly stuck to his plan to stay patient and use other weapons in his arsenal, rather than constantly pressing matters with his driver.
This week marks the fifth time McIlroy has opened a major championship with three rounds in the 60s. He went on to win on three of the previous four occasions. "Overall, yeah, pretty pleased with how today went, and feel like I'm in a good spot heading into tomorrow," said McIlroy.
