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

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.

Home is where the restart is for Rory McIlroy. The world No 2 finished the 125th US Open with his best round of the championship and then stated his belief that a move back to Europe and a major in his own country will see him relight the competitive fires that were snuffed out with that fulfilment of a dream at the Masters in April.
