Rory McIlroy explains moving on ‘pretty quickly’ from US Open disaster as he returns to golf

The biggest story coming out of this week’s Genesis Scottish Open is how Rory McIlroy will play after taking his hiatus from golf following a disastrous finish at the U.S. Open last month. McIlroy infamously missed short putts on Nos. 16 and 18 at Pinehurst No. 2, which ultimately led Bryson DeChambeau to win by one stroke after a tremendous bunker shot leading to a par to finish 6-under for the tournament. McIlroy, who quickly rushed out of Pinehurst, released a statement the following day saying he would be taking a break from golf until the Scottish Open. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Rory McIlroy in a press conference following the Pro-Am prior to the Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club on July 10, 2024, in North Berwick, Scotland.
