I just need to get myself in the right frame of mind. I probably haven’t been there the last few weeks," said McIlroy, after breaking par for the first time in his last seven rounds.

OAKMONT, Pa. — It seems like a lifetime ago that Rory McIlroy knelt on all fours at the 18th green at Augusta National sobbing uncontrollably after reaching his ultimate goal of winning the Masters and completing the career Grand Slam.

Despite having a rough weekend at Oakmont Country Club during the 125th U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy bounced back in the final round.

Rory McIlroy’s stay in the U.S. Open field nearly lasted just two days. But a birdie on the 18th hole salvaged his second round (2-over) to get him through two days at 6-under and in a tie for 45th at Oakmont Country Club, barely sneaking past the cutline nine years after he missed the cut the last time the major was held at the course.

A frustrated Rory McIlroy takes out his anger on his club on the 12th and 17th holes during the the second day of the US Open. McIlroy finished the day on +6 to make the cut for the next round.

Rory McIlroy is not having a good time as he is among the U.S. Open victims battling the carnage at Oakmont Country Club and a tee time this weekend.
