Rory McIlroy's recovery from a devastating U.S. Open loss was to walk the High Line in Manhattan. He says it allowed him to be alone in his thoughts. That follows a final hour in the U.S. Open where he says he got out of his own world and started thinking too much about Bryson DeChambeau. McIlroy is at the Scottish Open this week.
Rory McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, reacts after missing a putt on the 18th hole during the final round of the U.S. Open golf tournament Sunday, June 16, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C.

Rory McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, reacts after missing a putt on the 15th hole during the final round of the U.S.
And next week is the final major of the year, a British Open at Royal Troon. McIlroy said he sees that as nothing more than another opportunity to win his first major in 10 years, not any occasion for redemption. “There’s nothing that I could have said. It would have been good because you guys would have been able to write something about it or have a few quotes from me,” McIlroy said. “No offense. You guys were the least of my worries.”Most curious was when he said it started to come undone — a 30-inch putt on the 16th hole. It was far more routine than the putt on the 18th that he said required him to aim a few cups to the left because it broke so sharply and had the potential to race by the hole.
