Rory McIlroy, who congratulated Bryson DeChambeau for his U.S. Open win, said he'll take a few weeks off after 'probably the toughest [day] I've had' as a pro golfer.
Scott Van Pelt gives his thoughts on Rory McIlroy's hasty departure following his second-place finish at the U.S. Open. McIlroy was scheduled to play in this week's Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut -- the last signature event of the season. He indicated in the statement that he won't play again until next month's Genesis Scottish Open, which he won in 2023, and The Open at Royal Troon Golf Course in Scotland.
Rory McIlroy said he'll regret two missed putts during the final round of the U.S. Open -- at Nos. 16 and 18 -- but he'll try to focus on the positives."I've shown my resilience over and over again in the last 17 years and I will again," McIlroy said. won his second U.S. Open title when he hit a pitch shot from a fairway bunker onto the 18th green and made a par putt to finish at 6 under -- 1 stroke ahead of McIlroy.
"But, as I always try to do, I'll look at the positives of the week that far outweigh the negatives," McIlroy said."As I said at the start of the tournament, I feel closer to winning my next major championship than I ever have. The one word that I would describe my career as is resilient. I've shown resilience over and over again in the last 17 years and I will again."
It's not the first time McIlroy has taken a break after a disappointing finish. After missing the cut at the 2023 Masters, in which McIlroy failed for the ninth straight time to win a green jacket and complete the career Grand Slam, he skipped the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, the next week.
