What Happened to Rory Mcilroy?
Rory McIlroy has faced a long period of time without winning any more. Despite being a very talented golfer and consistently ranked among the best in the world, McIlroy has found it difficult to win another major tournament.
There are several reasons why McIlroy has struggled to win majors for such a long time. While he has shown great skill and determination on the golf course, the competition at the highest level has become even tougher. McIlroy has had to compete against very strong opponents who have pushed him to his limits, making it hard for him to come out on top and win another major.
Why Did Rory Leave Us Open?
Rory McIlroy decided to leave the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 after going through a very tough time in the final round. He made mistakes by missing two short putts towards the end, and this caused him to lose the opportunity of winning his first major championship in 10 years.
The defeat was incredibly difficult for McIlroy, and he considered it as one of the hardest moments in his career. In an official statement, he mentioned that he would take a few weeks off from playing golf to process everything that had happened and work on rebuilding himself.
As a result, he made the choice not to participate in the Travelers Championship. Instead, he decided to return to the game next month, playing in the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open at Royal Troon Golf Course.
How Much Did Rory Mcilroy Win Yesterday?
Rory McIlroy did not win the U.S. Open yesterday. He faced challenges in the final round, where he missed two important putts that cost him a chance to win the tournament. On the 16th hole, he missed a 2-foot, 11-inch par putt, resulting in a bogey.
Then, on the 18th hole, he missed a 3-foot, 9-inch par putt, also resulting in a bogey. These missed putts were costly as McIlroy finished one stroke behind Bryson DeChambeau, who won the U.S. Open with a score of 6 under par. McIlroy finished at 5 under par.
