McIlroy lost a two-shot lead down the stretch then watched on a scoring room monitor as DeChambeau made an improbable winning up-and-down at the 18th hole to claim the trophy. After DeChambeau won, McIlroy went straight to the Pinehurst car park without talking to reporters and left. The loss extended McIlroy’s 10-year major title drought.

  1. He needs a caddy he’ll respect and listen to, you’d think he woukd have learned from Val De Velde’s Driver off 18th.. get your par and force Bryson to make birdie 🤷‍♂️

  2. In alot of comments from fans of Rory came to his defense by saying that Rory's going through a lot. Scottie Scheffler had been going through alot too. Look at the pressure he was under! Grow up Rory.

  3. Rory really played the best round of golf, but he choked he had something get in his head those last holes were brutal. The reaction was that of heartbreak! 😢

  4. Since seeing his attitude in the Full Swing series, the endless crying to reporters, and now this total display of disrespect… idt I’ve flipped and started disliking someone I really looked up to this quickly since Will Smith.

  5. It seems disrespectful for Rory to leave the event early without congratulating the winner or attending the press conference to address his loyal fans and journalists.

  6. I'm a fan of Rory, but this is poor. Bryson congratulated Xander immediately when Xander beat Bryson. Rory dipped out as fast as possible without congratulating Bryson. Acted like a big baby with all his millions.

  7. I back Rory to come out and win the open now. Tough one to take but he is playing great golf and no putts are easy when your trying to close out a major. As for not speaking to the press, give the guy a break. He has gone through a tough time recently and this would have meant the world to him. Troon here we come!

  8. We all know why he didn’t go shake his hand! I believe he was haunted by the fact a” LIV” player was chasing him! That’s what shook him and why he missed those shots!

  9. Long time golf enthusiast and for some reason I've never been a fan. Ryder cup this year after Cantlay made that putt really made me not like this baby
