The astonishing stat that shows how painful Rory McIlroy's US Open collapse was... as Nick Faldo admits his capitulation will 'haunt him for the rest of his life'
Daily MailNick Faldo believes McIlroy could struggle to bounce back from his capitulation An astonishing statistic has emerged in the wake of Rory McIlroy's collapse at the US Open after he threw away a commanding position to lose out to Bryson DeChambeau by a single shot. Rory McIlroy missed from inside three feet on the 16th hole as he collapsed in his final round at the US Open on Sunday McIlroy had previously made all 496 putts he'd attempted from inside three feet in 2024, but missed at the crucial moment as he lost out to Bryson DeChambeau by a single shot His last triumph came at the PGA Championship in August 2014, meaning he has now gone 10 years without winning one of golf's biggest events. McIlroy filed for divorce from Stoll last month after seven years of marriage, but his attorney, Thomas Sasser, filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal on his client's behalf in Palm Beach County Courthouse last Tuesday. Nick Faldo believes McIlroy's collapse will 'haunt him for the rest of his life' The Northern Irishman will get one final shot in 2024 to win his fifth major at The Open next month.
