‘I Had A Great Opportunity There To Pick Up Another Major’ - McIlroy Still Rues US Open Near-Miss Five Months Later

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland speaks in a press conference following the Pro-Am prior to the DP World Tour Championship.

Rory McIlroy revealed he is still caught up on his US Open near-miss as he reflected on his year ahead of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. 

McIlroy has endured a topsy-turvy year, tasting victory in his first event of the year at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and playing a guiding role in Europe's Ryder Cup win but also suffering the pain of another poor performance at The Masters and an agonising close shave at the US Open where he lost by one shot to Wyndham Clark.
