Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy says he will be 'embracing patience' this week as he tries to end his major drought at the 124th US Open.
Rory McIlroy says he will need to "embrace patience" and play "boring" golf as he once again tries to end his drought in the majors at this week's US Open.
However, he has improved his finishing position in each of his past five US Opens - all in the top 10 - culminating in last year's runner-up finish to Wyndham Clark."I struggled a bit on US Open set-ups but then I tried to figure out why that was. And nowhere is that patience and methodical approach going to be more needed than at Pinehurst's number two course, which is staging the US Open for a fourth time and has a reputation for being one of the toughest in the world.
"A course like this definitely demands creativity," said McIlroy, who added that his key objective before Thursday's opening round is to "figure out what shots to hit around greens".
