Rory McIlroy's 10-year wait for a fifth major championship victory continued on Sunday, after the Northern Irishman was pipped by Bryson DeChambeau at the U.S. Open in agonising fashion.
The first of his brutal misses came at the par-four 16th, as the Northern Irishman's putt for par from inside three-feet failed to drop, the first time this season he had missed from this distance, having holed his previous 496 attempts.READ MORE: Rory McIlroy criminally went back on his own word and it cost him US Open
The near-miss inflicted yet more major pain on McIlroy, who has now clocked up four runner-up finishes since last major win at the PGA Championship in 2014. His last also came on the U.S. Open stage, having fell to the same fate at Los Angeles Golf Club 12 months ago, losing to Wyndham Clark by one shot.
