The 2012 U.S. Open Golf Championship The Olympic Club Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy will defend the US Open title he won so brilliantly last year after a bittersweet 12 months on the course where he has shown flashes of greatness and frailty. Rory McIlroy ticked two big items off his bucket list when he won last year's US Open then became world number one earlier this year, but his game has not been as smooth or as reliable as he would have liked. He has not contended in any of the three majors played since his incredible win at Congressional and promptly handed back the world number one ranking to the more consistent Luke.
