‘What a Clown’: Just Days After His $1,570,000, Win, Rory McIlroy’s Brutal Suffering Sparks Displeasure in the Golf Community Following Latest Decision
Rory McIlroy, fresh off a stunning victory at the Scottish Open where he claimed a share of the $1,570,000 prize purse and soared to the world number 2 spot, embarked on a mission to reclaim his once-coveted ranking.
Joining the elite league of golfers with 24 PGA Tour wins alongside legends like Dustin Johnson and Gary Player, McIlroy’s brilliance knew no bounds. However, as he teed off at The Open, during the third round, a roller coaster day lay ahead, testing his mettle and determination to secure another historic triumph.
Silent frustration on the course for Rory McIlroy
As Saturday unfolded at The Open, Rory McIlroy began with a promising start. He went on to score three birdies in the first five holes. However, that electric beginning didn’t translate into consistent play throughout the round. Struggling to sink crucial putts, McIlroy was left frustrated with a series of pars and a single bogey at the 12th hole. The 69 he carded moved him only to three under for the tournament, putting him far from contention for the title.
Notably, McIlroy chose to bypass his pre-tournament press conference, signaling his reluctance to engage with the media. After his round, despite requests for interviews, he continued his silence and headed straight to the practice green. The decision to remain reticent in the face of both triumph and tribulation left many fans questioning his move, and they took to Twitter to voice their own thoughts on it all!
