Rory McIlroy says he will take time away from golf following his dramatic late collapse at the US Open, calling it one of the "toughest" days of his career.
Posting on his X account, McIlroy congratulated his opponent but said he would "rue" the failure to take his opportunities, which included missed par putts of two feet six inches, and three feet nine inches on the 16th and 18th holes respectively. He revealed: "As I reflect on my week I will rue a few things over the course of the tournament, mostly the two missed putts on 16 and 18 on the final day."
