After squandering a late lead over Bryson DeChambeau at the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy called Sunday “probably the toughest” day of his professional golf career in a social-media post Monday evening.
The Northern Irishman bogeyed three of his final four holes, enabling DeChambeau to win with a par save at the 72nd hole at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. McIlroy missed two par putts from inside five feet at the 16th and 18th holes.
