Two missed short putts cost Rory McIlroy victory at Pinehurst, with the Northern Irishman now set for ‘a few weeks away from the game’
in the closing stages at Pinehurst on Sunday to see a first major title in 10 years agonisingly slip away.
“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 my resilience over and over again in the last 17 years and I will again. McIlroy was in mid-air on his plane home within an hour of signing his card at the end of Sunday’s gut-wrenching round, and how long it takes him to get over the disappointment remains to be seen.
