Rory McIlroy tempted to do a 'Rocky' and run up famous steps

Rory McIlroy has revealed that he has been tempted to emulate Sylvester Stallone's Rocky character by running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The location, which was made famous from the films, has caught McIlroy's attention since he arrived in the city for this week's US Open.

"I was half-thinking of going to the 'Rocky Steps' in the city and going to run up those," McIlroy said in a press conference.

The Northern Irishman has claimed only two top-10 finishes in 11 starts this season.
