McIlroy Eyes Redemption at Scottish Open After US Open Heartbreak

Posted : 10 July 2024

Rory McIlroy is determined to bounce back from his heartbreaking US Open collapse at Pinehurst as he gears up for the Scottish Open this week. McIlroy had a two-shot lead with five holes remaining but faltered by bogeying three of the last four holes, including crucial misses from short distances on the 16th and 18th, ultimately finishing one shot behind Bryson DeChambeau.

 

This painful setback rekindled memories of McIlroy's 2011 Masters disappointment, where he lost a four-shot lead in the final round. Despite this, McIlroy recovered to win his first major title at the US Open two months later. Now, the Northern Irish star hopes to replicate that resilience as he looks ahead to the British Open at Royal Troon.

 

Reflecting on Pinehurst, McIlroy emphasized the importance of learning from tough moments in his career, viewing them as opportunities for growth. He acknowledged that while the collapse at Pinehurst was painful, it wasn't the hardest loss he's endured, recalling feeling worse after the 2011 Masters and the 2022 British Open at St. Andrews. McIlroy took solace in his performance for most of the final round and hopes to build on that going forward.

 

Before focusing on the British Open, McIlroy will defend his Scottish Open title, confident in his ability to show the form that nearly won him the US Open. Despite the disappointment, he maintains a positive outlook, viewing Troon as another opportunity to handle the pressure better. McIlroy also addressed leaving the US Open without congratulating DeChambeau or speaking to the media, candidly stating that it was the last thing on his mind at the time.
