Rory McIlroy once again came within a whisker to adding another major championship to his collection at last weekend's US Open.
But has as often been the case, the Northern Irishman was just pipped, this time by outsider Wyndham Clark, who maintained his overnight lead to be crowned champion at Los Angeles Country Club. McIlroy himself has four majors to his name, but his wait for a fifth has been a long-one.
After winning four in the space of three years, the Northern Irishman has been unable to add to his tally in the nine years since his last flagship victory at the 2014 PGA Championship.
