Rory McIlroy battled through a turbulent week at Oakmont Country Club, closing his U.S. Open campaign with a brilliant 3‑under 67 on Sunday. After opening rounds of 74, 72 and 74, McIlroy’s late surge vaulted him into a tie for 19th at 7‑over par (287) with his lowest single‑round tally of the championship and his 10th career round of 67 or better at the U.

McIlroy said Saturday his tournament has been “pretty average” — he said one positive is he’s driven the ball as well as he has in a while.
