Rory McIlroy has hit back at critics of his own and his caddie’s US Open performance, after the Northern Irishman saw the trophy slip from his grasp in painful fashion at Pinehurst.
‘I look back on some of my toughest moments in my career and learn a lot from it. Hopefully I’ll put that to good use,’ says Rory McIlroy.‘I look back on some of my toughest moments in my career and learn a lot from it. Hopefully I’ll put that to good use,’ says Rory McIlroy.Hank Haney - a former coach of Tiger Woods - and television analyst Smylie Kaufman – a former PGA Tour player – both offered a negative appraisal of McIlroy’s approach.
McIlroy spent a few post-US Open days in Manhattan, which seemed to have served as a head-clearing exercise. He won the last of his four majors in August 2014 but none have been lost in such dramatic style. “I still think about the short missed putt that I missed at Crans-sur-Sierre in 2008 in a playoff. I was probably more devastated after that because it was my rookie year on tour; I hadn’t won yet. I remember feeling really bad after that for a week.
