World No.2 Rory McIlroy has recovered from a rib injury and will be fit for the US Open starting on June 15.

McIlroy, who suffered a stress fracture of a rib earlier in the year, pulled out of the PGA Championship at Wentworth and concerns about his participation in Wisconsin heightened when he failed to play in this weekend's Memorial Tournament in Ohio.

However, the four-time major winner told The Guardian: "I am ready for Erin Hills and looking forward to playing there for the first time.

"The last few weeks have obviously been frustrating," said the 28-year-old 2011 US Open winner.

"I never like to miss events either on the PGA Tour or European Tour, but it was important I got back to a level of fitness where I felt like I could give myself the best possible chance at the US Open.
