PGA Tour golfer left GUTTED after Rory McIlroy's late withdrawal from Travelers Championship leaves him playing by himself - while the rest of the star-studded field have partners

Daily Mail  

When the Travelers Championship has its first group teeing off this week, there will only be one person on the tee box. That's because of the late withdrawal of Rory McIlroy - who announced he'd be taking a brief hiatus from golf in order to process his late collapse at the US Open at Pinehurst this week. But that leaves the Travelers in a predicament after advertising for months that McIlroy would be in the field at the lone PGA Tour event in New England. Rory McIlroy's withdrawal from the Travelers Championship meant a golfer would be alone That golfer is Chris Gotterup - who joked about his 'pairing' after McIlroy bowed out With a two-shot lead going into the final five holes, McIlroy carded three bogeys and missed two putts from a combined seven feet. More star-studded pairings include Hideki Matsuyama with last-year's Travelers winner Keegan Bradley, Scottie Scheffler with Max Homa, Wyndham Clark with Jordan Spieth, and Shane Lowry with Justin Thomas among others.
