Rory’s terrible luck on fifth hole; McIlroy and Adam Scott comparisons; DeChambeau the content king; McKibbin’s solid finish

Dubai Invitational in January

To show the difference in the stakes though, the Northern Irishman was delighted for his friend Fleetwood and was pictured. This time McIlroy bolted from Pinehurst within minutes of Bryson DeChambeau holing the winning putt, a flight track monitor on Twitter/X showed his jet had already left North Carolina for Florida only 53 minutes after the conclusion of play. A tough pill to swallow.

If McIlroy never wins another major, despite having won four Majors in his career, this may be the bitter memory he can never forget, with shades of Doug Sanders missing a three-foot putt to win the Open at St Andrews in 1970. “You know, I go back there and sometimes they say ‘Doug, do you ever think about that putt,” Sanders said about that moment. “I say: ‘Oh, sometimes I go as high as five minutes when I ain’t thinking about it’.
