»The golf course was playing really tricky but all in all, I played a solid round. It is fine margins at this level, at this tournament especially, but I fought to the very end. «I'll keep coming back until I get another one.» McIlroy has now finished top 10 in each of his last five appearances at the US Open.

His long wait for a major continues after his last triumph at the US PGA Championship in 2014. He will have the chance to end his barren run at the 151st Open Championship in July at Royal Liverpool. «Three minutes ago,» McIlroy answered when asked at what point his preparations begin for that tournament.
