## Resource

Rory McIlroy’s U.S. Open hopes faded after a disastrous Saturday back nine that sent him tied for 32nd at six over — a stark contrast to his 2008 victory at the same course. Skipping the Travelers next, he’s heading home to prep for the British Open, where he believes Shinnecock’s links feel most like home. Meanwhile, Tom Kim soared to third, tying the best-ever U.S. Open finish for a South Korean — and locking in Masters and U.S. Open spots next year. And in a historic amateur moment, Jackson Koivun birdied his final hole to break 70, becoming the first to do so at Shinnecock — earning low amateur honors and preparing to turn pro at the John Deere Classic. A weekend of highs, lows, and rising stars. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
