Rory McIlroy believes he's on the cusp of ending his nine-year major drought after coming up just short at the US Open.
McIlroy finished one shot behind winner Wyndham Clark in Los Angeles, with the American claiming a surprise victory. Clark was not expected to challenge before the tournament but held a share of the lead with Rickie Fowler heading into Sunday's round.
As Fowler's challenge collapsed, Clark held his nerve to keep McIlroy at bay. It was a frustrating result for the latter, who is waiting for his fifth major title. McIlroy keeps coming up just short, recording 19 top 10 finishes at majors since his last triumph in 2014.
