Rory McIlroy, the Northern Irish golfer, is preparing for the U.S. Open with aspirations of ending his ten-year major title drought. McIlroy, who has won four major titles, last secured a major victory a decade ago. Despite the long wait, he remains optimistic about his chances, expressing that becoming the most successful European golfer, surpassing Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo, is still within his reach. McIlroy's confidence is further bolstered by his contentment with his career achievements thus far. He arrives at Pinehurst with a renewed focus, stating, 'I’ve done pretty well for a little boy from Northern Ireland that dreamed of playing golf for a living.' As he aims for his fifth major title, McIlroy feels he is 'as close as I've ever been' to achieving this goal.
