There was finally some good news for Rory McIlroy at the 2015 U.S. Open, as the world's top-ranked player managed to avoid shooting over par with a 70 on Saturday. He's still far off the lead with 18 holes to play, but this was a positive step for him coming off back-to-back 72s.

I felt like I gave myself enough chances out there to convert a few and then had a couple of (shorter) putts on the last few holes there. I definitely thought it was a day where you could shoot under par and I didn’t take advantage of that.

Fast-forward to the third round, and McIlroy still isn't in full sync with his game despite improving on the consecutive days over par. He's still struggling on the back nine, hitting bogeys on 11 and 15, to dampen his otherwise strong showing. 


Yet after McIlroy was done Saturday, he went back to how well he's been striking the ball, per Golfing World:



That statement from McIlroy goes to show how hard things have become at Chambers Bay. Players are still having an impossible time adjusting to the course, though it's made for a cluttered leaderboard thus far and drama heading into the final round.&...
