Rory McIlroy finally spoke to the media at the U.S. Open Saturday. The reigning Masters champion argued he's "earned the right to do whatever" he choses.

Sam Stevens has made a big jump up the leaderboard thanks to back-to-back birdies at the third and fourth a little earlier. He's T6 at one over and his two under is currently the second-best score out there on the course - only Bob MacIntyre (-3 for his round) is playing a better one.
