“Alone with my thoughts for a couple days, which was good,” McIlroy said Wednesday, July 10, at the Genesis Scottish Open, his first time back from a most devastating loss at Pinehurst No. 2.
NORTH BERWICK — Rory McIlroy got back into his own little world a few days too late.The immediate aftermath of a U.S. Open he threw away — missing two putts in the 3-foot range — included a previously planned trip to Manhattan. McIlroy said he walked the High Line a couple of times, able to be a face in the crowd of America’s busiest city.
And next week is the final major of the year, a British Open at Royal Troon. McIlroy said he sees that as nothing more than another opportunity to win his first major in 10 years, not any occasion for redemption. “There’s nothing that I could have said. It would have been good because you guys would have been able to write something about it or have a few quotes from me,” McIlroy said. “No offense. You guys were the least of my worries.”Most curious was when he said it started to come undone — a 30-inch putt on the 16th hole. It was far more routine than the putt on the 18th that he said required him to aim a few cups to the left because it broke so sharply and had the potential to race by the hole.
