If McIlroy had any doubts previously as to when he will next win a Major then those two putts will haunt him. My son tells me that, prior to those two, he was 496/496 putts from 3 feet or less. That's pressure for you.
Gutted for Rory. Can't believe he threw it away like he did. Those short putts for par 😱. As @Addick Addict said above....the putt on 15 was the first time this year he has missed inside 3 foot. 496 other times before then he's holed out. As Billy Joel once sang.....1,2,3,4 Pressure.
What I would say, that’s the most I’ve enjoyed a PGA tournament in ages. That course was fantastic and absolutely brilliant seeing pros struggle round the greens

I know its supposed to be a tough test but the pin on the par 5 10th was bordering on unfair. Rory hit an iron into the green and landed 10 foot on & 20 feet from the left edge. For it to roll all the way off & into "scrub" was nor a suitable punishment imo.

I’m assuming that was his 2nd shot?
Yes it was. You could argue that a par 5 is made as a 3 shot-er with the 3rd being a short iron that can land softly.......but with today's ball & clubs virtually all pro's can go for a par 5 in 2.

That was the 5th. It played as the easiest hole on the course all week ( https://www.usopen.com/2024/course-stats.html ) and has a huge false front. The miss is long or right (like Bryson yesterday), not short or left. Rory knew this as he got stuck in the same place on Friday yet repeated the error.
It was bad course management, not bad set up.
I feel like I watched some sort of snuff movie last night.

I'm not buying the Bryson redemption either. Maybe when he stops anchoring his putter.
