Rory McIlroy was in attendance for the US Open semi-final between Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz, with tennis legend John McEnroe unable to resist a dig at the golf star
Tennis legend John McEnroe couldn't resist a stinging dig at Rory McIlroy during the Northern Ireland golfer's visit to the US Open tennis championship.
Tennis icon McEnroe, who was providing commentary, took a sharp dig at McIlroy's prolonged wait for a fifth golf major, which has now reached a decade. When his fellow commentator mentioned that McIlroy had clinched three out of the four major golf championships, McEnroe seized the moment to emphasise the length of time since the Holywood man's last big victory.
McIlroy's hopes for a title were dashed after a catastrophic finish, with three bogeys in his final four holes, led to him losing out on the championship to Bryson DeChambeau by a mere stroke. The defeat at Pinehurst was a bitter pill for McIlroy, who left the course swiftly following DeChambeau's victory-sealing putt, reports the Irish Mirror.
