McIlroy darts from U.S. Open after loss
Rory McIlroy stormed out of the U.S. Open after suffering yet another agonizing defeat. The Northern Irishman was in contention to win the tournament until he bogeyed the final hole, handing the title to Matt Fitzpatrick.
McIlroy was visibly upset after the loss, and he refused to speak to reporters after the round. He was seen leaving the course in a golf cart, with tears streaming down his face.
This was the fourth time that McIlroy has finished in the top five at the U.S. Open without winning. He has now lost in a playoff, a three-way playoff, a four-way playoff, and now, a one-stroke defeat.
McIlroy’s loss was met with disappointment from golf fans around the world. Many had hoped that this would be the year that he would finally win the U.S. Open. However, it was not to be, and McIlroy will have to wait another year to chase his dream of completing the career Grand Slam.
