OAKMONT, Pa. — Which Rory McIlroy is going to show up for this week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont?
The one who was hungry and driven in his relentless pursuit of the all-time greatness he achieved with his Masters victory and completion of the career Grand Slam?
Or the one who struggled to a tie for 47th at last month’s PGA Championship and curiously — petulantly — refused to speak to the media after all four of his rounds, then blew off his mentor Jack Nicklaus without a call when skipping the Memorial, and followed that by shooting 9-over par en route to missing the cut at last week’s RBC Canadian Open (which paid him a reported $2 million as an RBC ambassador)?
Welcome to Rory’s world, always a rather complicated and sometimes turbulent ride.
