SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. Rory McIlroy arrived in the Hamptons a week early, plunged into the Long Island golf scene with a passionate zeal and began the U.S. Open with effusive optimism.It took just over an hour for it to unravel. McIlroy played his first five holes on a windswept Thursday in 6 over par, turned in 42 and signed for an 80, his highest score in a decade of playing the U.S. Open.It was more of the same on Day 2, with a 4-over opening loop to move six strokes outside the cut line. Although he would play a flawless finishing nine, with four birdies on his way to an even-par 70, it wasnt nearly enough to keep him around for the weekend.

It's tough. It's a tough tournament, McIlroy said. I have prepared well here the last few days. I come in here with the right attitude. Even after yesterday I felt like I could come in today and shoot in the 60s and make it to the weekend.This marks the third consecutive year McIlroy, who won the championship in 2011, missed the cut at the U.S. Open and stalls an impressive run for the Northern Irishman that includes his victory in March at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a tie for fifth at the Masters and a runner-up showing last month at the BMW PGA Championship on the European Tour.Today I hit 17 out of 18 greens. I did a lot of good stuff. Obviously the conditions were conducive for that, he said. Yesterday I just wish I could have maybe just had one day to prepare for something like that. I feel like it would have been a different story.
