Rory shot 69 - 69 –138 to take 17th place in the 2006 Northeast Amateur at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford, R.I. In the third round, Rory was 3-under through six holes, but due to weather problems, the play was stopped.

The tournament was scheduled to be 72 holes, but since in the next day the weather did not get better, it was cut short to only 36 holes.
