Rory McIlroy suffers emotional rollercoaster at US Open as PGA Tour star DE-GREENS putt before chipping in for miracle par
Rory McIlroy went through an emotional rollercoaster during the second round at the US Open by horribly missing a birdie putt, before an amazing chip from the fairway to save par.
The two-shot swing happened on the par-3 hole No 8, where a great tee shot set McIlroy up with a challenging, but doable, birdie putt.
Commentators warned that hole No 8's greens are fast, and an inaccurate putt could lead to disaster.
McIlroy's second shot on the hole missed by around a foot wide right before trailing on the green and eventually onto the nearby fairway for several yards.
To keep pace with Ludvig Aberg and Patrick Cantlay among the leaders at Pinehurst, one of the best shots McIlroy has hit this year was needed, and he delivered.

McIlroy's miracle chip on hole No 8 helped the Northern Irishman stay with the leaders
McIlroy's chip took three bounces before settling and did not lose pace before it sunk to a large cheer from the North Carolina crowd.
Throughout the rest of his second round, McIlroy has hovered around 3-under-par to stay within a few strokes of the leaders.
McIlroy's last month has been incredibly noteworthy as he filed for divorce from wife Erica Stoll days before the beginning of the PGA Championship last month.
The Northern Irishman reversed course earlier this week and has reconciled with Stoll despite romance rumors with golf host Amanda Balionis surfacing quickly after his separation became public.
On the links, McIlroy is looking to end a decade-long drought without winning a major championship. McIlroy is still in striking distance with a competitive field at Pinehurst to do just that.
