McIlroy to skip Travelers as part of 3-week break to recover from US Open collapse

Rory McIlroy took to social media Monday afternoon to say his stunning collapse at the U.S. Open was probably the toughest day of his career, and that he would take off the next three weeks to “build myself back up.” That means he will skip the Travelers Championship, the final $20 million signature event on the PGA Tour schedule with a limited field and no cut. Bryson DeChambeau won it with a sensational par on the 18th, hitting a 55-yard bunker shot to 4 feet for par to beat McIlroy by one shot. McIlroy became the first player since Jim Furyk in 2006-07 to lose the U.S. Open by one shot in consecutive years. “I think we can all agree on that.” McIlroy said while he will look back with regret on the two short misses, he said the positives of the week will outweigh the negative.
