Rory Mcilroy has had an open US “quite average,” said the Irish golfer.
Mcilroy said his draw for 49th position in the classification table after shooting 10 on the pair in Oakmont is not particularly notable.
However, the fact that Star’s golfer even offered public comments caught attention because he broke his recent trend of silence.
Mcilroy, who won the US Open in 2011, held its first media session after the tournament round after shooting a 4 out of 74 in the third round on Saturday.

He skipped with journalists after playing Thursday and Friday. Mcilroy was asked on Saturday if that was due to his frustration in the course.
“Not really,” said the current Masters champion. “It’s more a frustration with you.”
When he was asked to elaborate, he said: “Maybe not you, but maybe more, just everything.”

But following that has been difficult. Mcilroy has talked openly about the need to find motivation.
The Mcilroy pilot was determined not to settle before the PGA championship. It was upset because the news leaked and did not talk to the media after any of the four rounds in Quail Hollow. He spoke this week before the start of the US Open, but not after his first round of 74 or 72 of the second round.
Sometimes, he didn’t need words to share his thoughts, such as when he threw a club number 12 on Friday and broke a Tee score a few holes later. Both outbursts arrived when they played the last 10 holes of the second round to make the cut.
“It’s fun. It’s much easier to be on the cutting line when you really don’t care if you’re here during the weekend or not,” said Mcilroy. “I was thinking: ‘Do I really want two more days here or not?'”

He also played the notion that avoiding the media is new to him.
“In Augusta, I jumped on Thursday,” Mcilroy said. “I have done it before. I’m just doing it a little more often.”
There are many possibilities of what you are eating in Mcilroy. His performance, the driver of the driver or perhaps is tired of the expectations that entails being one of the main ambassadors of the game. For a long time he has had a reputation for accessibility, and remained firmly with the PGA Tour when Liv Golf launched.
