McIlroy suffered a final day collapse that allowed Bryson DeChambeau to claim victory at Pinehurst.
Rory McIlroy has shared his US Open regrets after a collapse on the home straight saw Bryson DeChambeau beat him to the title.
McIlroy has been criticised in the aftermath for leaving the North Carolina course without congratulating the American, stringing from seeing his chance slip through his fingers. But McIlroy has since issued a statement warmly congratulating DeChambeau on his win and his general impact on the sport. McIlroy also insists he feels as close to winning his next major - it's been a decade since he's claimed one - despite his agonising final day collapse.
"As I reflect on my week, I'll rue a few things over the course of my tournament, mostly the two missed putts on 16 and 18 on the final day. But as I always try to do, I'll look at the positives of the week that far outweigh the negatives.
