- Northern Irishman beaten to Wentworth title by Horschel
- Latest near miss comes a week after Irish Open setback
Rory McIlroy has no real alternative but to adopt a stoical approach to a year of near misses. A different stance would be problematic, not only for his state of mind but anyone or anything within striking distance at the conclusion of tournaments. McIlroy believes the dam will break soon.
The US Open provided the most painful denouement of 2024 for the world No 3. At the Dubai Invitational, Olympics, Irish Open and now PGA Championship he at least flirted with glory. Two victories, the last coming in Charlotte in May, feel like scant reward for his overall level of golf.
