Masters champ admits he has 'mount to climb for third major

- BY MIRROR REPORTER

RORY MCILROY admits he is worried about his form ahead of this week's US Open at Oakmount after missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open.

The Masters champion shot a dismal second-round 78 on Friday, carding a quadruple bogey, a double and four other bogeys in an eight-over-par round that left him languishing 21 shots behind halfway leader Cameron Champ.

It is the first time the world number two has missed the cut since the Open at Royal Troon last July.

Mcllroy's round continued his troubled build-up to next week's US Open at Oakmont having been forced to switch to a different driver after his previous model was deemed non-conforming in a random test on the eve of last month's US PGA Championship, in which he finished joint-47th.
