World number two Rory McIlroy has said that his iron play is "dialled in" for this week's US Open at Merion.
The Northern Irishman is searching for a second US Open and third Major title and feels that his iron play will be the key to success.
He said: "I expect the scores to be lower than usual in the US Open but I don't think you will see scores like Congressional (when he won by eight strokes with a record 16-under score).
"It's probably going to play into my hands a bit more and my iron play is dialled in. As long as I can put it in the fairway I can take advantage of it."
Meanwhile, McIlroy's Ryder Cup teammate Graeme McDowell has said that Merion is being "underestimated".
The tournament begins on Thursday and you can follow live text coverage here on Sports Mole from 2.30pm.
