‘If you miss, it’s very penal’: Rory McIlroy discusses challenge of Los Angles Country Club and some strategy for U.S. Open

Rory McIlroy has been in the mix two weekends in a row but has failed to close. He was in the final group at Jack’s Place, but a final-round 3-over 75 pushed him down the leaderboard, settling for T-7. Then, on Sunday, in pursuit of his third straight RBC Canadian Open title, McIlroy couldn’t get jumpstarted. He posted a final-round 72 and tied for ninth.
