I am a Rory fan…but….he should had manned up and congratulated Bryson in person….like Arnold
He did??
1 minute..thats how long he had to wait for Bryson, but HE decided to leave asap
Rory just gotta putt it behind him and just LIV with it
Golfers need to keep things in perspective when stuff like this happens. What happened to Rory is hardly heartbreak. He's a hundred millionaire riding around in jets, spending every minute of his life on nice manicured grass, million dollar properties, country clubs, infinity pools. I get it, he wanted to win and had a tough loss, but these guys need to remember it's hard for regular folks to consider it "heartbreak" when you have the kinds of lives these guys have. I don't know anyone who wouldn't trade places with a tour pro, especially Rory. I seriously do feel for him; I think one of the biggest ways to cope with something like that is to stay grateful for the life that you have and keep things in perspective. You could be laying roof tiles in 100 degree heat barely getting by financially with a mortgage you can barely afford, or maybe even just rent in a shitty apartment. When a loss in a high profile golf tournament feels heartbreaking, try to remember how good you have it.
The kindest thing you can say about McIlroy, apart from being a great golfer, is: a sore loser, reneges on commitments he makes, self absorbed hypocrite and no class. He congratulates Bryson two days after the event. Perhaps someone brought to his attention the many negative commentaries in the press from golf journalists who acutely criticised, not his collapse on the final few holes, but his immediate post defeat reaction. A good sportsman is humble in victory and graceful in defeat. McIlroy is well short of such attributes.
You must be a perfect human.
Nruh do you think anybody would congratulated bryson after missing two putt from inside 3 feet? No didn't think so. People need to learn people are human, not everyone is perfect.
I hate when comments beat around the bush and don't share their honest assessment :)
@@Dun_ker35607 Sure, people are human. You don't need perfection to be humble and gracious. And you don't have to be perfect to show emotion even if you need to reach for the tissues. You don't need perfection to display sportsmanship. Much has been said about the two short putts McIlroy missed. Not much has been said about the 150 feet of putts he made in the final round. Even less has been said about the 3 putt bogey Bryson made on the 12th hole.
@@vladav1233 yeah but hiw could of rory congratulated bryson at the time when hes so mentally beaten up
Shane Lowry telling people to ‘be kind’ when Rory spewed nothing but hatred towards LIV and his friends who joined for 2 years straight 🤣🙈 This is karma getting him back in a big way
Yep, Rory was the king of hatred towards fellow pros
Lowry also gave his tuppence worth on LIV............
He should have been a gentleman and congratulated Bryson but instead ran away without class!
He congratulated bryson?? He just showed you
@@Dun_ker35607 after he got blasted on social media a day later you can’t make excuses for him classless no matter how you spin it
@@Dun_ker35607how
“Firstly, I’d like to congratulate Bryson” right after my narcissistic comment.
Poor rory 10 years without a major . Theres golfers out there who have won nothing but do we talk about them nope 😢
The LIV schedule would suit Rory right down to the ground right now….When’s Rory going to get this brand new Irish ☘️ LIV team up and running?
I hope never.... the PGA can keep him.
Having not won a major for more than ten years, if he joined LIV (not happening, BTW) Rory has no avenue into the majors except through qualifiers. Rahm, Smith, Koepka, De Chambeau and more have this part of the equation licked, at least for a while.
Because of this he can't go to LIV, much like Jay Monahan he overplayed his hand a couple years ago loudmouthing, tough talking and badmouthing LIV, all under the smokescreen of some sort of morality position about the Saudis, blah blah, blah. I also believe there's no way LIV extends an invite after Rory's initial behavior in the early LIV days. He's a weak and pathetic little man that deserves to be rooted against every time he shows his gargoyle-like visage at any event.
Interesting that this happens so close to Lipstick Lexi's similar statement about moving away from professional golf followed by this weeks playoff loss to Lilia Vu who was out of action for months. Or Monahan's "stepping away" after the LIV Tour gave him a professional beat down. It's an attempt to graciously exit from a professional life of getting little accomplished.
@@chrispalmer9952 yes your comment is understandable….No doubt many LIV players won’t have forgotten or forgiven Rory’s vindictive words last year.
@dougie6897 I don't know who he thinks he is.... trying to stop LIV from happening, trying to stop all these others from making money... Now he'll be begging Norman... The hypocrisy is surreal.... Over 40 sponsors are owned by Saudis and have been giving to the PGA for many many years.... now the PGA will be owned by the Saudis with this latest merger. Rory is a little boy in a mans world...
Why would LIV want a champion narcissist like Rory?
Well he hasn't done too badly out of knocking a ball into a hole so I wouldn't shed too many tears.
Looks like his PR kicked in to cover the fact he showed zero sportsmanship.
Oh my god people are like robots thinking he needs to be perfect, he respected and congratulated bryson now because he's calmed down.
WORSE THAN ZERO....no excuse for not waiting for a minute..or two
Agreed, telling what his fanboys want to hear
@@Dun_ker35607no because he was prob advised to by his PR as he stormed off
He a crybaby. See ya ✌🏼
Excellent news...... we can do with a break from Rory...... Go get a putting lesson Rory..... 😭😭
short putts are a character test....he failed
This is the best time to put some class on folks.
Be compassionate and understanding. You had to be there. Unless you want to walk a hundred miles on the course with Rory, have respect for him and the game. He is a spectacular golfer and let us sit back and watch what he is coming back with. Blessings and the best wishes from our golf family to yours, Rory.
Dudes weaker than toilet paper
Bad mouthing LIV and its players for 2 years. Gets denied a major by a LIV player. LOL. Awesome.
It's it beautiful mate?
Yeah, he played two leagues his whole career, and whines about other PGA players that have the same opportunity... blatent hypocrisy of many celebs today...
Bro rory spot on the cake, Bryson is the only good player at liv. Every one went there for money, not prestigious at all.
@@Dun_ker35607 if anyone considers this "heartbreaking" look at greg norman and how he handled defeat. He was class in 1996. The way he handle that was incredible.
@@Dun_ker35607 Jon Rahm is better, think before you post
Taking a break from the media more like.
So this loss just cements for me that he needs a proper caddy...no way Steve Williams lets him hit driver on 18 after 3 days hitting 3 wood...they look like they hardly speak ..rory very much on his own when he needed a strong voice in his ear to see this through!!
I agree. It's cringe to watch his best mate walk around in awe of him and just happy to be there.
3 wood was obvious
Totally agree, nice that he is loyal to friends but he needs someone stronger who will stop him being an idiot with club selection!!😅
C'mon Rory your stronger than this get back to doing what you do best ⛳️
Choking and crying...
'Show compassion', 'be nice', do this do that. Why do these over-privileged pros think they can tell us what to think, say and do. Rory blew it again and stormed off without grace or good sportsmanship - that is the bottom line. Thanks for the advice.
Bottled it 😂
Possibly the only thing he’s done wrong here is to make that (non) statement. 3 weeks off to get his head and game straight sounds normal to me. Let’s not forget he came second in a major championship, something I’m sure Scotty would’ve been more than happy with last week. Rory will be back for sure, hopefully stronger, focused and ready to increase his major tally 👍🏻
Should front up and act like a champion in defeat,not run off home.
10 years and counting
WHAT ABOUT HIS SEEMINGLY DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR BY LEAVING THE EVENT WITHOUT CONGRATULATING THE WINNER OR ATTENDING THE PRESS CONFERENCE?
Firstly, using block capitals makes you look like a petulant child. Secondly, the majority of the field left the event without congratulating Bryson, but you're choosing to single out Rory. I suggest you work on yourself before judging others.
How do you know he didn't congratulate Bryson? All these guys know each other well, he could have easily sent Bryson a message to say well done. Just because he didn't jump in front of a camera and make a big song and dance about it, doesn't mean he didn't congratulate him, or at least want to. Have a think about just how much pressure he was under and how dissappointed he was considering his hstory and situation. He obviously wanted out of there and I don't blame him. Yes, ordinarily he should have stayed. But if he'd stuck around then the psychological damage could have been even worse. Give the guy a break. As for not talking to the media, lol, who cares.
@@spengos1🤡🤡
@@LongbranchOlivetti🤡🤡🤡
FIRSTLY RORY WAS DISRESPECTFUL, SECONDLY, RORY WAS DISRESPECTFUL! GO WORK IT OUT YOURSELF!
Probably not a good time to take a long break since he has found form and the Open is upcoming.
Classic rory
Tiger overcame 2 fractures n a battered ACL to win US Open in 2008. Difference between a great player n a good player. McIlroy can never be a great player like Tiger.
fFS so thought 2.3 million pounds we are so sad for him
Looked like he had started that break from golf on the 15th
Those two weeks you need to be practicing 2 ft putts
Lmao hardly a break from golf is it , most of us are lucky to play every two weeks .
That said i totally understand how gutted rory must be that was geniunely the most memorable snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory in golf since spieth and raes creek , made all the bigger by just how important it was to him in so many ways .
At the end of the day rory its just golf , golf is life , beautiful and brutal .
But you don't have the whole world laughing about it when you play bad😅
I really hope this retires him, never been a fan of his, and i would like to watch golf without the sky sports golf team fawning over him for once,,,,,,,, honestly, listen back to the final few holes, even Faldo was perplexed with radars pish. Nae doot Troon will be the same,, can wowy do it??????? Naw! He fkn canny ya rockets 😂
With 2.3 million in the bank, it’s not the end of the World is it.
I wish the media would take a permanent break from their sickophantic obsession with him. Going on and on about how brilliant he is and how he is going to win the next 10 majors when there are plenty far better players
Its only the PGAT owned US media
Rory is the Angry Mr. Bean 😮 He not only has golf problems, but also lady problems. 😂
The media should get off Rorys case and stop talking about it.
He’s a nob and very difficult to like, Bryson on the other hand great for the game.
Ok another stupid person in thus comment section.....
Bruh how he's likeable and one of the best, he's still better than bryson right now.
Rory = 👶😭🤡
You = 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Running away as he did, did no favours to his fanbase or golf, but perhaps even moreso to himself. Shirking away like that sends a strong signal that winning is more important than sportsmanship and common decency. If he'd stood tall, walked out with a smile and congratulated the winner, he would have stood tall in the eyes of the golfing world, and also to himself. Probably going to be 100x harder to return to form now, IMHO.
He showed to everyone what a poor character he has....he knew he only had to wait for two mins max for Bryson, but he decided to leave....thats what narcissists do...
@@1362pc Sounds like you're right. Missing those putts was big but easily forgivable. The cowardly retreat is something that will mark him for the rest of his life.
Imagine every golfer who came 2nd or worse at a major decided to take several weeks off afterwards……very much ‘spoiled brat’ behaviour
Bruh, if rory never lost in that fashion he would of never took a tournament off.
"What Rory has gone through is as tough as it gets" yeah making millions for a runner-up spot is so tough he had to go cry it out in his private jet. Someone start that man a patreon.
The title is a bit clickbaity. He’s skipping three events and he’ll be back for the Scottish Open. It’s no different than what he did after the Masters last year. He skipped three events after that too.
But now PGA events are elevated so he cannot just randomly skip when sponsors were told that best players will turn up.
@@ifldiscovery8500 RBC Heritage was a signature event last year too which he skipped.
@@henryhealy He did that cuz he played in previous ones. This break is not planned and the PGA was not made aware of until this morning.
@@ifldiscovery8500 Just double checked and the only other signature event he hasn't played this year was The Sentry back in January. Also, as per the 2024 tour, "there is no requirement for the leading players to play in signature events."
Rory just gotta putt it behind him and just LIV with it
I love Rory but he doesn't take defeat gracefully! Maybe some good karma would get him over the line in future majors! 😉
Si on accepte la défaite, c’est qu’on est perdant dès le départ. Rory fait le maximum pour arriver à ce qu’il souhaite. J’adore le voir batailler pour gagner. C’est le but de tous les professionnels du sport.
@andypalin3287 brotha he had the US open in his grasp but missed two putts within 2-3 feet cut him some slack as a +2 handicap who competes he was prolly having the case of the darkness I guarantee you wouldn’t want to talk to anyone if you loss the US open like that have some compassion he congratulated Bryson move on! He is human he makes mistakes.
@@thehashslingingslasher9507 he left without congratulating anyone! 🙃
@@andypalin3287 did you not hear what I just said lmao?
@@thehashslingingslasher9507 😍
Get back on the course and get stuck in 👍
Rory is likely - just really still suffering from declining the $750 Million LIV offer. After that - how can he be expected to hole putts on the 18 th Hole in the Final Round of the US Open. Was hard watching Rory dealing with the PGAT fans cheering against Rory - chanting USA/USA. There was no shame in Rory placing 2nd, and many don’t think Rory will ever win another major after all this. Yes - there is more to life than golf. 😀
Remember guys…this is the “face” of the PGA Tour? What a joke
That's a point.
Maybe afterall he is just a golfer and not a professional.
I was playing golf during the final round. At the turn I ran into the clubhouse and the bartender says, "Rory is 2 up". My reaction was, 'He'll choke. He always does." - that's his golfer image...and he just cemented it.
What a baby yeah I'm going to quit I'm going to take time off whatever big baby grab your bottle and get a blankie
break from golf lol. hes going on holiday for a few weeks. jesus.
“Taking a break” is a shity thing to hear from anyone.
It’s all about me. Lol.
It's not like they were in the same group. In golf, there is no standard procedure that the runner-up needs to congratulate the winner in front of cameras, hell did cantlay and finau congratulate bryson?
He watched it all unfold on tv in the scorers room,could easily have just waited for Bryson to come in and at least shook his hand and said well done.
Rory played great. Only thing to work on are 1 meter putts.
Once in the lead 4 of his last 5 tee shots were pulls or hooks which ultimately led to him leaving those ‘iffy’ putts he missed.
The one on the last was an evil 3 foot swinging putt.
The one on 16 looked pretty routine @@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines
He made 496 putts out of 496 within one yard this year up to the putt on 16. I like Rory but his mind is a bit fragile. I don’t see how he can overcome that trait.
and his wedge game
When is he gonna learn that he is a poor front runner, stick around and pounce near the end of the round... otherwise 4 footers end up feeling like 14 footers for him. 10 years wasted. 😣
Good point but easier said than done. Those birdies don’t come easy on those courses so I guess you take them when they come. He did amazing to get in that position. Just a real shame those misses came at the end. But what an up and down from Bryson too! That could have easily still gone to a play off.
@@ollyw2897 what i'm basically saying is he should slightly bottle it first in terms of attacking the course and the leader, stick around instead because front running builds up too much pressure for him to handle.. and then he cracks.. time and time again, he should attack from either 16th or 17th onwards and then see if he can muster up a putt for the win or even tie because the pressure of losing from being ahead won't be there as he won't have been ahead in the round before this last putt.. and all of a sudden its a different type of pressure putt and he is more likely to putt it while hoping and being positive in the pull back instead of s#!+ scared he might lose and bottle from leading by 2 in the round...
What if the likely birdie holes are on the front nine?
@@MarkSmith-tp6zc doesn't matter (anymore) basically Rory has zero chance these days as a front runner as he cant handle that pressure so the only obvious percentage thing to try now is to not lead in the final round and then pounce on them instead of the other way round like what keeps happening every single time in the last 10 years. Rory should accept his weakness (Front running) and try to find another way to get it done (like how i said to do it or just something else), that is all.
He is the best driver of the golf ball, he just need to try a different caddy.
Caddy had nothing to do with him missing those two putts.
Rory Mcilroy did not throw the us open away - he missed short putts where he could not afford to miss - deal with it - he does not need to explain anything to anybody - He has won 4 majors - a fantastic achievement- you never heard TW speak the way Rory does - that’s the difference
I beg to differ he's a pro and should be that even when a tough loss comes...he literally ran away...yes he's paid very well to answer a couple questions post match.
He like many other celebs have become so smug and frankly condescending...he didn't shake the winners hand because he thinks he above showing a minimum of golf decorum to this winner specifically, and the Folks putting the tournament money up . ..he made $2 million for second.
Smug is a very good choice of word to describe him. He lacks character
It's telling how Rory describes his career as resilient. We take for granted that these guys aren't just genius talents, but they work on their craft religiously, day in and day out.
That's what's called a "humble brag" ...narcissist love complimenting themselves...
And all get handsomely rewarded for it.
