NEW YORK - Four-time major champion Rory McIlroy likes his chances of capturing his first major title since 2014 after firing a two-under 68 on Saturday to jump into contention at the US Open.
Fourth-ranked McIlroy, who has not won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship, battled through the tricky opening holes, found birdies where he could and scrambled late to gain ground on the leaders. McIlroy sank a 10-foot birdie putt at seven and blasted out of a greenside bunker to three feet to birdie the par-5 ninth.
"You're going to have stretches in US Opens where you're going to make mistakes, but if you can back it up with stretches of golf like I showed there, that's what you have to do," McIlroy said.Winged Foot lived up to its reputation a day after McIlroy struggled to a 76.
