Rory McIlroy Clowned by U.S. Open Fans amid Brutal Oakmont Performance

World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is among the biggest victims of that monster that goes by the name of Oakmont Country Club. The Northern Irishman shot a not very flattering 4-over 74 in the first round of the 2025 US Open, and his performance has only worsened during the second round.

McIlroy carded a 4-over on the first three holes on Friday, temporarily putting himself outside the cut line. Given how polarizing he is in the golf world, it’s no surprise that many fans took to social media to mock his performance.

“What is going on with Rory McIlroy? Starting to think winning the masters was a bad thing!”, @DanNorthernGolf posted.

“Every ounce of motivation left Rory McIlroy after donning that green jacket,” was @Khambe_Huda‘s take.

“Rory McIlroy out there pretending to be playing golf because he has not been serious since the masters. he just swinging clubs and sh*t like he don’t give a damn of it’s cut day,” @theblack_caesar said.

“Watching Rory Mcilroy turn into Patrick Cantlay at the majors has been less than fun,” @DuBoseDefense wrote.

“Who is the guy in blue tee-shirt playing with Shane and Justin ? He looks like Rory McIlroy!” @Franc_TERRIER posted.

The second round started off on the wrong foot for McIlroy, as he sent his bomb-like tee shot 342 yards straight into a fairway bunker. His second shot was even worse, as he couldn’t make good contact with the ball and sent it just 55 feet into the dreaded Oakmont rough.

Things got worse for the Northern Irishman, as he couldn’t get his ball on the green with his third shot. Once again in the rough, he chipped it past the pin, but the ball didn’t spin as he’d hoped and landed 17 feet short of the hole. He then two-putted for double bogey.

The five-time major champion seemed to recover his pace, parring the 2nd hole, but his problems resurfaced on the 3rd. There, part of the story from the 1st hole was repeated, as he again hit a drive of over 340 yards and again landed it in a fairway bunker.

His second shot wasn’t as bad as on the 1st hole, but he still couldn’t reach the fairway and left the ball in the rough. He also failed to miss the ball on the green with his third shot. The rest was similar: he chipped it to within 12 feet of the hole and then two-putted for double bogey.

McIlroy missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open just a week ago, his first missed cut since the 2024 Open Championship last July. The 29-time PGA Tour winner hasn’t missed two consecutive cuts since the 2012 season.
