Rory McIlroy had another disappointing showing at the U.S. Open at Oakmont this weekend, but he's finding inspiration as he looks to the next major event.

Maybe we're all feeling a little bit like Rory McIlroy at the moment: a bit deflated, maybe even a bit 'over it'. Another Major? Already? The Northern Irishman isn't himself at the moment. The energy levels appear to be fairly low and his body language in yesterday's US Open press conference gave the impression of someone who'd rather be somewhere else.

You climb Everest, you don’t exactly turn around and go back again,” said Rory McIlroy ahead of the 2025 U.S. Open.
