Rory McIlroy is one of the favorites to win the U.S. Open this week, as he’s coming off a win last week in Canada and has been playing some really darn good golf this year.
He got off to a nice start in Thursday’s opening round at The Country Club in Brookline but then on short par-4 fifth hole he ran into some trouble and was reminded that golf is a really hard game.
McIlroy had a brutal lie just next to a bunker and had to stand in the sand to hit the shot. How’d that go for him? Not well. And he wasn’t pleased about it, either.
