Rory McIlroy US Open record: Six straight top-10s since 2019

June 9, 2025

Rory McIlroy bids to continue his strong form at the US Open this week following six straight top-10 finishes since 2019.

McIlroy’s first of five major triumphs came at the US Open in 2011 when finishing eight strokes ahead of runner-up Jason Day.

His 72-hole aggregate score of 268 (-16) was a new tournament record, breaking the previous mark of 272 set by Jack Nicklaus (1980), Lee Janzen (1993), Tiger Woods (2000) and Jim Furyk (2003).

At the age of 22, McIlroy became the youngest winner of the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923 and it began the start of a historically great period throughout the 2010s.

Since 2019, the Irishman has finished T-9th, T-8th, T-7th, T-5th, 2nd and 2nd in the US Open and enters the 2025 renewal at Oakmont as the third-favourite at 10/1 with the top betting sites in Ireland.

At last year’s US Open, McIlroy entered the final round in second-place – three strokes off the lead.

He erased the deficit and took a two-stroke lead over Bryson DeChambeau with four holes to play before bogeying three and missing putts from inside four feet on 16 and 18.

McIlroy admitted he is concerned about his form heading into the third major of the year after missing the cut by some way at the Canadian Open last week.

The 36-year-old shot a second-round 78 on Friday which left him 21 strokes behind halfway leader Cameron Champ after 36 holes.

“Of course it concerns me. You don’t want to shoot high scores like the one I did today,” McIlroy said.

“I felt like I came here with a new driver thinking that was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn’t.

“Going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways. Still searching for the missing piece off the tee. When I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me. Right now that isn’t.”

It marked his first missed cut since the Open at Royal Troon last July. After winning the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam in April, it appears McIlroy has eased his foot off the gas.

He conceded grinding on the range for three or four hours every day has become increasingly more difficult since getting over the hump at Augusta National and reaching golfing immortality.
