Rory McIlroy pushed back against criticism of his caddie, Harry Diamond, in the aftermath of his U.S. Open defeat at Pinehurst No. 2, saying that those who have issues with his friend on the bag are never there to offer compliments when things go well.
McIlroy, in advance of this week’s Scottish Open, was specifically asked about comments made by longtime instructor Hank Haney on social media and former PGA Tour player and commentator Smylie Kaufman, who followed McIlroy during the final round.
