Rory McIlroy disclosed what he shot during a practice round at Oakmont ahead of the U.S. Open, and its 'Toughest Test in Golf' title seems to hold.

Rory McIlroy Makes Major Revelation Before US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rory McIlroy has been struggling in recent tournaments. Before arriving at Oakmont, he competed in the RBC Canadian Open, where he carded rounds of 71 and 78 to miss the cut. It was one of his worst 36-hole performances in recent years.

I didn’t even feel like I was playing that bad,” McIlroy exclaimed, to a bit of a gasp from the media members in attendance, during his Tuesday press conference ahead of this week's U.S. Open. McIlroy admitted that the course felt “impossible” with such firm greens and harsh pins—he played as part of an outing hosted by Oakmont member Stan Drukenmiller—but is pleased with the rain making everything a bit softer.
