Rory McIlroy did not appear before the media Thursday after suffering an uncharacteristic blunder on the 18th hole at the U.S. Open.
biggest defenders in its dispute with LIV Golf since last year, have certainly shifted his focus off the course.
"I’ve always thought I’ve had a good handle on the perspective on things and sort of where golf fits within my life, and trying to find purpose outside of golf in some way," McIlroy said of his break ahead of the Wells Fargo Championship last month. "But I think over the last 12 months, I sort of lost sight of that. I’d lost sight of the fact that there’s more to life than the golf world and this little silly squabble that’s going on between tours, and all sorts of stuff."But with the recent cease-fire between the circuits, McIlroy’s performance at the Los Angeles Country Club does stand out.
Rickie Fowler plays his shot from the seventh tee during the U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club on June 15, 2023. His 30 on the front nine was his best nine-hole score in any major and he was one of six players to shoot 65 or better – the U.S. Open has never had more than two players at 65 or better in the opening round.
