The canβt-win-a-major monkey is off Schauffeleβs back, and heβs playing well enough to start piling up trophies after waiting so long for his first. Remarkably, he has six top-10s in seven U.S. Open starts. McIlroy turned things around by winning his 26th PGA Tour title at last month’s Wells Fargo Championship. He has finished in the top 10 at the U.S. Open for five straight years, including a tie for 23rd in his last tournament at Pinehurst, where he was runner-up in 2014. If Rory lifts the trophy on Sunday it will end a championship drought that has lasted 3,598 days.
