Rory McIlroy had a lot to say about his Pinehurst collapse

Rory McIlroy’s Pinehurst collapse was a major talking point after the US Open. The Northern Irishman was in contention for the title heading into the final round but shot a disastrous 80 to finish tied for 15th.

McIlroy admitted that he was “very disappointed” with his performance and that he had “a lot of questions” about what had gone wrong, the Telegraph reported.

McIlroy said that he would be taking some time to reflect on his performance and try to learn from his mistakes.
