McIlroy trying to move on from devastating US Open loss
NORTH BERWICK, Scotland — Rory McIlroy got back into his own little world a few days too late. “Alone with my thoughts for a couple days, which was good,” McIlroy said Wednesday at the Genesis Scottish Open, his first time back from a most devastating loss at Pinehurst No. What McIlroy said he does not regret is his quick departure after DeChambeau’s remarkable bunker shot from 55 yards on the 18th to set up a 4-foot par putt and the win. You guys were the least of my worries.” McIlroy described the final round of the U.S. Open as “a great day until it wasn’t.” Most curious was when he said it started to come undone — a 30-inch putt on the 16th hole. “But again, that’s on me to make sure that I’m in the right head space.” McIlroy said it wasn’t a terrible putt, but he missed at a terrible time.
