Rory McIlroy sees glass half-full with 4 wins. The US Open makes it feel half-empty: Analysis
Associated PressTied for the lead with three holes left in an exhausting season for Rory McIlroy, he launched a pitching wedge toward the 16th green in Dubai and barked out desperate instructions. The other was the most fun — the Zurich Classic with close friend Shane Lowry, followed by McIlroy belting out Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” at a post-tournament party. “He probably should have won the U.S. Open — let’s be honest, and he’d say that himself — but he didn’t,” Lowry said. “I’m obviously aware of that, and it only makes me more motivated to try to emulate what they did this year.” McIlroy said he got choked up at the end of his season at the mention of tying the late Seve Ballesteros with a sixth Order of Merit. “Yeah, it’s been quite the year,” McIlroy said.
