Andrew Coltart reflects on how Rory McIlroy can recover from his major heartbreak at the US Open and Bryson DeChambeau's dramatic victory at Pinehurst No 2.
Former Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart reflects on how Rory McIlroy can recover from his major heartbreak at the US Open and Bryson DeChambeau’s dramatic victory at Pinehurst No 2… This one will be difficult for McIlroy. For 67 holes he was looking about as assured as I've ever seen him over the past 10 years, since he won those two majors in 2014. He was looking confident, doing all the right things and looked like he was finally going to get that monkey off his back.
I think his head will be scrambled for quite some time. There are obviously things going on off the course that can't be helping either, distractions there that he has spoken about, and it will take a while to get over it. He has got the Travelers Championship this week, so it's a case of getting back on the horse. It's the final Signature Event of the season and he will peg it up there, which is maybe a good thing, but it isn't a major.
