Rory McIlroy’s latest near miss of 2024 came as he lost a playoff to Billy Horschel in the PGA Championship
Northern Irishman beaten to Wentworth title by HorschelRory McIlroy has no real alternative but to adopt a stoical approach to a year of near misses. A different stance would be problematic, not only for his state of mind but anyone or anything within striking distance at the conclusion of tournaments. McIlroy believes the dam will break soon.of 2024 for McIlroy. At the Dubai Invitational, Olympics, Irish Open and now PGA Championship he at least flirted with glory.
“Look, it’s golf and I’m playing well,” McIlroy said. “These things happen. It’s just the game is testing me a little more than it has done in the past but that’s fine. All I can do is keep showing up and trying to play the golf that I’ve been playing and sooner or later it’s going to end up in a win.
Horschel, with his West Ham United golf bag, is like an adopted Englishman. He will regard this as a point made to Jim Furyk, who overlooked him for a place on the US Presidents Cup team. “My heart was pounding on the last couple shots, the last couple holes, and especially in the playoff but it’s always fun being in those situations,” Horschel said.Download the Guardian app from the iOS App Store on iPhone or the Google Play store on Android by searching for 'The Guardian'.
