Rory McIlroy arrived at the U.S. Open this week insisting that he is content with his career despite difficulty completing a career grand slam.
The final question Rory McIlroy was asked before he headed onto Pinehurst No. 2 on Tuesday for his first practice round at this week's U.S. Open was perhaps more befitting of a player in the twilight of his career than one ranked No. 3 in the world. Are there still goals that McIlroy wants to achieve? His answer was the exact opposite of what one might expect: “Not particularly,” McIlroy replied.
“I mean, I want to win as many golf tournaments as I can,” said McIlroy, who teamed with Shane Lowry to win the Zurich Classic in April and captured his fourth Wells Fargo title just last month. “I want to try to compete and win as many majors as I can.” That might well end up being four. It just as easily could be five by the end of this week.
