WATCH Rory McIlroy hit the flagstick from 260 yards

Saturday at the 2021 US Open Championship saw Rory McIlroy jump into contention for his fifth major.

McIlroy is just two strokes behind the leaders at the 2021 US Open and his 4-under par 67 included this magnificent fairway wood that was so accurate it hit the flagstick and ricocheted 40-feet right.

McIlroy birdied the hole and looks in ominous form ahead of the final round
