Rory McIlroy continues his US Open campaign at Shinnecock Hill after a delay to play. According to reports, the Masters champion uses the pause as he aims to catch up on the leaderboard, with the tournament starting its second-round action later than scheduled. McIlroy is described as being four shots behind the leader at the turn, putting him in contention as he looks to improve his position over the back nine.
Multiple outlets frame McIlroy’s focus on closing the gap, with the second-round target identified as Wyndham Clark. The coverage indicates that despite the disruption, McIlroy maintains his momentum and continues the round in pursuit of a higher finish and the possibility of moving closer to the top of the leaderboard. The reports do not add conflicting details on the delay or the size of the deficit at the turn, and they consistently place McIlroy in a chasing position heading into the latter stages of the round.
