Who's fault is this? I'm blaming you for now, alastair.
US Open - Congressional.
- Thread starter alastair
- Start date
That's what I do every day I step out on the golf course. Who doesn't?
If McIlroy ends up say 7 or 8 shots up on the rest with 1 round to play he could have a meltdown and still win comfortably.
It's all about today really Rams. If he has another dinger of a round he could have it all wrapped up! The only serious competition he has is going to be Yang. Everyone else at least 11 shots behind so I can't see them making a big run at him. Hope the course is set up difficult today!!
If McIlroy wins this at such a young age, he really could go on to Eclipse Tiger and become one of the biggest sportsmen in the world. This may be the springboard to the greatest British/Irish golfing career ever! I truly hope so!
Just looked at the course stat's too, Only 3 holes are averaging under par. For any other golfer in the world on this course a six shot lead at the cut would almost certainly mean victory. Come on Rory don't let us down!
Anyone know the tee times for today??

If he just shoots under par today I can't see him blowing the lead.
Big if though. I'm pretty convinced from here on in if he shoots two 71s he'll win it.
Anyone know when Rory tees-off today, please?
3:50 et
If you're english, that's 8.50
Thanks, both. 
If anyone wants to have a feel of how Congressional is virtually, you can go to World Golf Tour | Free Online Golf Game | Welcome. If you don't know about it, you have to register and player congressional. There are two random hole locations for most holes on the course, but you will mostly get the hole location for tomorrow and the first day.
The greens are the toughest out here. Most of then are a promontory from the fairway so it is hard to just land on there from the fairway. It is a bit tougher than Oakmont.

What a shot on the third after the tuff out.
Rory starting well.
Brilliant bunker shot at the fourth. It's stating to look like he's learned his lessons!
And a birdie at the 5th. Come on Rory! This is a mature performance.
Great stuff, Rory!
Solid so far, keep it going.
13-under now.
It could have gone horribly wrong today, but he toughed it out.
Another birdie for Rory, -14 now and 9 shots clear.
Brilliant.
Sergio so close!
Another excellent round from Rory, 8 shots clear going into the final day. He played some quality golf today, a mature performance from him.
It would be the mother of all feck-ups if he doesn't manage to win from this position. Can't see him having another melt-down like the Masters and even if he does, the other players would need a great round themselves.
His score of -14 is an all-time record after 54 holes in the US Open.

Hopefully a win here will be the springboard to even greater success for Rory.
Westwood should be embarrassed.. a walking billboard on two legs.. Bad enough with all those logos but when he started to look like a UPS driver..
the fact that he is a united fan made me hoping he will get his first major this time around. common rory!
All the big guns are using this now. There is no way Tiger can compete with those antiquated clubs of his. Nike has to step up or he needs to switch.
I have tried this driver and I was driving like a pro
. I adjusted the loft to level 4 (out of 8 levels) and my drives were just perfect. I swear I can go and hack it out with the pros with this driver. You can just adjust it to either fade or draw. It totally makes learning all the skills of driving useless.

Surely they'll just ban the club if it's proven to do that too easily? You never know, maybe you're just brilliant at driving?! I personally don't think any 'adjustable' club should be allowed.
heyyyyy you want to play with the pro's now!!
He can't really lose it from this, can he?
Just park the bus, Rory.
Just park the bus, Rory.
Come on Rory.
Agreed 100%. Tonight could be the start of a legendary career!
Great birdie on the first for Rory and great par putt on the second. Westwood looks like being his biggest challenger.
Westwood is always good on the last day - he never scores well enough on the first two rounds, and hence never quite makes it.
Well done McIlroy so far, just needs to keep it steady. His tee shot on the 4th was excellent.

Rory, rory, rory.
Beauty by Rory there.
-16
First slip up. If he drops a shot here it'll still be ok though. I hate the way he looks like he might be playing safe by teeing of with the iron.
