WATCH: Rory McIlroy unravels on second hole during final round of U.S. Open

Rory McIlroy 2017 U.S. Open

Rory McIlroy walked up to the second tee of his final round at Pebble Beach tied for sixth place in the 2019 U.S. Open with a score of 6-under par. He walked off the second green seven shots back after a series of errors cost him dearly.

It started with an errant drive that went into some seriously deep rough in front of a fairway bunker. His attempted recovery shot went about five yards, right into said bunker.

Then, needing a solid third shot to give himself a chance at par, McIlroy shanked it into a greenside bunker, instead.

All told, McIlroy ended up with a double-bogey after racing his bogey putt past the hole — a terrible sequence that had him seven shots off the lead in the blink of an eye.
