Rory McIlroy shot a 3-under 67 to finish the U.S. Open at 7 over. That's a performance he can build off as he works toward the year’s final major.

Rory McIlroy reiterated on Sunday after an encouraging closing 67 at Oakmont Country Club that his mental head space still isn’t quite right. But he knows just where that might finally change, and it isn’t likely to be at the upcoming Travelers Championship.

Rory McIlory has his sights set on another Mount Everest, the 153rd British Open at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland.
