After a promising start at the US Open, Rory McIlroy’s collapse in the final four holes cost him his best chance at a major title since 2014. Finishing behind Bryson DeChambeau, McIlroy took to social media to express his disappointment and congratulate DeChambeau on his victory. However, he also acknowledged that he had faltered under pressure and made three bogeys in his final four holes.
McIlroy’s performance left him with some regrets about missed putts on the final day, but he remained resilient and determined to bounce back. Despite the disappointment, he remains focused on his upcoming tournaments, including the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open at Royal Troon. This setback marked the fourth time since 2014 that McIlroy has finished second at a major championship.
Fellow golfer Shane Lowry urged fans to show empathy towards McIlroy, emphasizing the mental and emotional toll that competitive golf can take on players. Lowry highlighted the pressure and expectations faced by professional golfers and called for kindness towards McIlroy during this challenging time. With renewed determination, McIlroy looks forward to continuing his journey towards achieving another major victory soon.
