DUBLIN, Ohio – Rory McIlroy is no stranger to the rigors of U.S. Open course setups, having summited the mountain at Congressional in 2011 and seen every layout since 2009. But he, like many players who will tee it up in two weeks at Shinnecock Hills, has some pointed opinions about how the USGA conducts their on-course business.
McIlroy surged into contention at the Memorial Tournament with a third-round 64, and after the round he was asked if organizations like the USGA that host professionals for only one marquee event each year have a proper understanding of the talent level on Tour.
