World No. 4 Rory McIlroy played his way onto the fringes of contention in the third round of the 2020 U.S. Open on Saturday, as he shot a two-under 68 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.
Upon entering the clubhouse, McIlroy was in ninth place in the tournament at one over. That put him six strokes behind leader Matthew Wolff.
On a day when much of the field struggled and finished with an over-par score, McIlroy carded three birdies, one bogey and 14 pars.
The four-time major champion began the day with a steady display of golf, as he parred each of the first six holes.
