At that point, there was talk in golf circles that McIlroy was on the chase after Tiger Woods for majors and double-digits seemed imminent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But McIlroy has been starved for a fifth since, stuck on four. He\u2019s now 33 and married with a child. Since that \u201914 PGA, he\u2019s played in 28 majors without hoisting a trophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He figures it\u2019s time to end that drought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy\u2019s passion was on full display in Thursday\u2019s U.S. Open first round at The Country Club, where he posted a 3-under 67 to stand just one shot out of the lead held by Canadian Adam Hadwin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/USA-GOLF-2022-US-OPEN.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rory McIlroy\" class=\"wp-image-22698342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/USA-GOLF-2022-US-OPEN.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/USA-GOLF-2022-US-OPEN.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/USA-GOLF-2022-US-OPEN.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/USA-GOLF-2022-US-OPEN.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Rory McIlroy got off to a strong start at the US Open.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">EPA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Clustered on the leaderboard alongside McIlroy at 3-under are a number of players you might not have realized were in the field (or heard of for that matter) \u2014 Callum Tarren, David Lingmerth and MJ Daffue.

You\u2019d take 67 around this golf course any day. Even though I\u2019m standing up here slightly frustrated that I bogeyed the last, it\u2019s a great start to the tournament.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For McIlroy, one of the most respected players in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, the club abuse was uncharacteristic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1403309703.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rory McIlroy\" class=\"wp-image-22698341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1403309703.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1403309703.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1403309703.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1403309703.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Rory McIlroy was uncharacteristically emotional. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to encounter things at a U.S. Open, whether they be lies or stuff like that, that you just don\u2019t really encounter any other week,\u2019\u2019 McIlroy said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard not to get frustrated, because I\u2019m walking up there going like, just come back into the bunker. The thickest rough on the course is around the edges of the bunkers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cSo, I was sort of cursing the USGA whenever I was going up to the ball, and then yeah, but it\u2019s one of those things it happens here, it doesn\u2019t really happen anywhere else. You just have to accept it. I gave the sand a couple of whacks because I\u2019d already messed it up so it wasn\u2019t like it was much more work for Harry (Diamond, his caddie). Then I just reset and played a decent bunker shot, and then it was really nice to hole that putt [for par].\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy said those club-abuse reactions \u201calmost remind yourself sometimes how much it means to you.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The strong start is reverse to a pattern McIlroy has had in a lot of majors, when he would start poorly and chase, often finishing with a good result on paper thanks to a very low final-round score after he\u2019d been too far out of the hunt to win. A recent example of that was the 64 he shot on Sunday of the Masters to post a runner-up finish even though he was miles from contention to start the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou feel like you\u2019re right in the tournament from the start of the week, which is nice,\u2019\u2019 he said of Thursday\u2019s round. \u201cI\u2019m going into [Friday] with the mindset of \u2018let\u2019s keep it going,\u2019 rather than \u2018where is the cut line\u2019 or whatever. If you don\u2019t get off to a great start, those thoughts start to creep in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s certainly a different mindset when you get off to a good start.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He knows others got off to strong starts and there are at least 54 trying holes to play before he can put an official end to his major drought.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
