Nothing went right for Rory McIlroy in the third round of 2014 U.S. Open, but he had 18 more holes on Sunday to make a late charge. Unfortunately, that run would hit a speed bump on the back nine.

After getting off to a slow start on the first hole at Pinehurst No. 2, the Northern Irish player birdied on the third and put together a steady round in North Carolina. McIlroy closed out the U.S. Open with a final-round score of three-over 73, finishing at six over on the tournament.   



Heading into the final round, McIlroy had already put himself well out of the running. With Martin Kaymer jumping out to a huge lead after the first two rounds, McIlroy was simply attempting to climb back into the top 10 and close to even par on Day 4.

The former world No. 1 spoke about his hope coming into the final round, per BBC Sport:

That is my target now. If I had kept it together and shot around par I might have had a bit of a chance. ... I got off to a pretty rough start. I played OK but just left myself in some difficult spots and could not get up and down.

I played well in the back nine, pretty solid, and recovered it a little bit. But it was not what I was looking for a the start of the day.

Ultimately, the Northern Irish player would walk off the course tied for 27th with several players still on the course.

McIlroy was unable to reach his goal but still had a much better start to the round than his Saturday showing. Following a day where he wound up with four bogeys on his first six holes, McIlroy notched a solid start to the day after a bogey on No. 1.



Unlike the prior day in which McIlroy stumbled on par fours, he finished with two pars and a birdie on the next three holes that stymied him on Saturday. After a mostly clean front nine with two birdies and two bogeys, McIlroy was sitting even heading into the 10th hole....
