The USGA has admitted that they 'mis-identified' a relief point Rory McIlroy was given during the final round of the US Open, with the Governing Body also clarifying that the Northern Irishman was not at fault for the incident, explaining that the 34-year-old "wasn't doing anything to gain an advantage."
McIlroy came into the final round of the tournament one shot back from Wyndham Clark and, having been within touching distance of the American, eventually came up just short as he finished in a share of second place and Clark went on to clinch his maiden Major title.
