McIlroy, who hasn’t won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship, came agonizingly close to ending the drought with a two-shot lead after four birdies in five holes starting from the ninth.However, the Northern Irishman botched his chance with crucial missed par putts on the 16th and 18th holes, allowing Bryson DeChambeau, the 2020 U.S. Open Champion, to clinch his second title.“For him to miss that putt , I would never wish that on anybody,” he said. “Rory is one of the best to ever play.
“Now, Rory is one of my very favorite people in the sport for a lot of different reasons. One, he’s a thinker and he answers things thoughtfully. He’s also a great champion. And today, understandably, a bitter pill, a chance to end this major list drought, and it slips away as it did,” Van Pelt said Sunday on ESPN.
