World No. 7 Rory McIlroy, a pre-tourney 12/1 co-fave outright, crafted a 3-under-par 33-34=67 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to conclude his second appearance (T17/2017) on 11-under 269, up four places to T11 with play still in progress. UPDATE: With play completed, McIlroy finished T12, six back of champion Bubba Watson.
After opening in 64-69-69, the 29-year-old began T15 on 8-under, two shy of the overnight top 10. He hit eight (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation, gaining 1.597 strokes off-the-tee, and 14.273 tee-to-green, currently No. 1 in both of the latter stats with a cumulative 7.039 and 14.273, respectively. The Ulsterman squared two bogey-5s at holes 1 and 12 (3-putt from 73'8"), outpaced by five circles at 3, 6, 7, 15 and 17, all from inside of nine feet. He posted 1.692 putts per GIR and -2.231 SG: Putting with 28 total putts. For the week, McIlroy totaled one eagle and 16 birdies versus seven bogeys, and was 74th (last) in SG: Putting -5.492. He improves to 8-for-12 on the season with six top 25s and possibly a fourth top 10. Jun 24 - 5:18 PM

World No. 7 Rory McIlroy twirled a season-tying-low, 6-under-par 31-33=64 in the first round of the Travelers Championship, currently T3 and one adrift of clubhouse co-leaders Zach Johnson and Jordan Spieth.
This is the 29-year-old's second appearance after T17 last year (67-73-70-64). He checks in off a missed cut at the U.S. Open, his third straight MC at the U.S. Open, and with three top 10s this season in 11 starts, highlighted by his come-from-behind win at Bay Hill, where he closed with 8-under 64. In total, this is the Ulsterman's third 64 this season (Memorial/R3). On 10 (of 14) fairways and 17 greens in regulation, he walked off with bogey-5 at 18 (failed scramble), preceded by seven birdies at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 13-15, all from inside of 11 feet. The Florida resident recorded 1.588 putts per GIR and 0.069 SG: Putting with 29 total putts. He's currently No. 1 in GIR and SG: Off-the-Tee (2.147). Jun 21 - 6:15 PM
Past champ and World No. 6 Rory McIlroy, a pre-tourney 14/1 outright, rallied for an even-par 39-31=70 in the second round of the 118th U.S. Open but at 10-over 150, missed the cut by two shots.
A total of 64 pros and 3 amateurs from a field of 136 pros and 20 amateurs made the cut of 8-over 148. McIlroy, the 2011 winner, misses his third straight cut at the U.S. Open and fifth in 10 tries. It's also his fourth MC of the season in 11 events, second in his last three starts (PLAYERS). For the short week, the 29-year-old mustered seven birdies against nine bogeys and four doubles. He opened with 80, which is his worst lap at the U.S. Open (in 30 rounds).
