On the tenth anniversary of his breakthrough victory at the US Open, Rory McClowry remembered his outstanding performance in this game-and made sure that everyone else knew it.
He was so focused, so focused on reinvigorating with a 73 in the second round, that he didn’t even notice that the rattlesnake made the audience rush away on the 15th hole!
The Northern Irishman pulled his kick-off into the canyon and took a free throw to save the bogey, instead of venturing into the snake-infested grassland.
McIlroy scored 67 in the third round of Torrey Pines, tying the low score of the day — England’s Paul Casey had earlier played under much less pressure — and let the fourth-timer The Grand Slam champion led by only two shots.
He started with the last 36 holes and 6 holes, and Rory still needs to do something he has never done before-win a grand slam from behind.
Tiger Woods won his first 14 major championships from the front line, and then finally got out of the rhythm with his memorable 2019 Masters victory. And he was 43 years old.
Therefore, if McIlroy Overhaul co-leaders Russell Henry, Louis Oster Hewson and Mackenzie Hughes, he will be ahead of the curve.
No matter what happens, the 32-year-old looks like a Grand Slam player again, and he admits that since his last USPGA victory in 2014, this is not common.
He said: “I heard about rattlesnakes on the 15th, but only later. I didn’t see them. I think this will tell you my mental state.
“I’m thinking back to the last time I really felt I had a chance to win another Major Championship.

“Carnoustie in 2018 felt that I might have a half chance, and then enter the last day of Pebble in 2019.
“But other than that, there are some good results, but I never feel like I’m in a difficult position.
“But this is obviously the best game I have played this week, and one of the best golf I have played in years, especially under pressure.
“I am very happy to have the opportunity to enter the last group.”
The last time McIlroy got so close was at the 2018 Masters, when he fought side by side with eventual champion Patrick Reid.
He was also two shots behind at the time, but quickly retreated, 74 shots two shots higher, and finally put him in fifth place.
This McIlroy, the swing was crafted by the talented Yorkshireman Pete Cowen, a more confident-looking competitor, once again full of swagger, with a prominent chin and chest.
This is more like McIlroy, who recovered from the collapse of the 2011 Masters, and a few months later shined on the congress court, opening his door with an eight-shot victory. Main Champion account.
But when McIlroy tried to end his seven-year wait for Major No. 5, it was not only the three men in the No. 5 position that prevented McIlroy from moving forward.

Sadly, Richard Brand He shot 77 in the third round, ranking 21st with an above-par score.
Brand scored five shots on the last eight holes and did not catch a birdie on the third day.
But the past month is still incredible for him-at the age of 48, he won the European Tour for the first time, finished third in the next game, and the top 36 holes of the US Open, which will remain forever. People’s memory.
Today McIlroy has the opportunity to create his own glorious memory of Torrey Pines. Go get them Rory.
