Rory McIlroy says he would take 100 more Sunday disappointments like just missing out on a second US Open title to secure his long-awaited fifth major title - but he insists he is getting close to sealing the deal.
McIlroy's quest to break his nine-year duck in the majors almost ended at Los Angeles Country Club last night when he lost out to first-time major winner Wyndham Clark by one shot.
The Northern Irishman's putter went cold in his final round beyond a first hole birdie and, coupled with his only bogey of the day on 14, that was enough to keep Clark just out of reach.
