US Open Social Spotlight: Rory’s had enough of your moaning

We love Rory McIlroy. He always tells it like it is. And this week he’s already decided he’s bored of all the complaining about the fescue at the US Open…

"If we can't hit it w/in that avenue, might as well pack your bags & go home"

And it looks like people have got his back…

@McIlroyRory is right. These have to be some of the biggest fairways ever in US Open history! https://t.co/XXH9nEfhJA

I love the fact that @McIlroyRory is disappointed @usopengolf is altering the fescue on 4 holes.

Elsewhere, how’s this for a ridiculous stat?

As seen on #LiveFrom – Since the beginning of 2013, Rory McIlroy & Jordan Spieth are completely even in majors. Literally. #GolfChannel pic.twitter.com/Szxto09nrT

A lot of people are tipping Alex Noren to do well this week, but not on this evidence…
