Well the final day of this year's US Open looks to be a straight forward one in many people's eyes. Rory McIlroy defied most expectations by destroying his competition and this long and difficult Congressional course, in the process breaking US Open records, no one had ever got to 13 under par in this competition before McIlroy.


We all knew he had the makings of major winner, and his last 6 majors have shown that he was near to getting one in the bag. McIlroy, who was third at the Open last year and third in the last two USPGA Championships, has now held the lead in six of his last seven rounds in majors. 


Not one player has kept up with his majestic stroke-play in these first 3 rounds, YE Yang has shown glimpses of a charge, as has the inconsistent Sergio Garcia, but Lee Westwood and Jason Day look to be in the best, but unlikely position of catching McIlroy at the top of the leaderboard. Lee Westwood especially coming in hot with 3 birdies and an eagle on the back nine holes.  


In the absence of Tiger Woods, McIlroy's masterclass was reminiscent of his boyhood idol's domination of the 2000 US Open when he won by a record 15 shots at Pebble Beach. Had Tiger been playing I'm sure he would of seen glimpses of his own relentless self in the younger Irishman.
