Finishing the four rounds at 9-under 271, his major drought now stands at a staggering 33 tournaments, leaving fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting his much-anticipated breakthrough. The spotlight, however, dimmed on McIlroy’s valiant efforts as the captivating Wyndham Clark stole the show. A breathtaking 40-foot putt teased the crowd as it seemed destined for glory, only to swerve away at the last moment, leaving a mere tap-in par.

McIlroy’s putter remained cold, and even his impressive birdie attempts from 22, 62, 33, and 40 feet on the final four holes failed to find the bottom of the cup. The golf gods seemed to have a different plan that day. However, despite the joyous messages praising Wyndham Clark’s triumph, the merciless aspect of social media surfaced when several people resorted to Twitter to voice their disgust at Rory McIlroy’s performance.

As the Twitterverse erupted with opposing viewpoints, McIlroy stayed laser-focused on his mission, determined to quiet the critics and emerge stronger in the face of adversity. Sharing a wide spectrum of reaction online, here’s what fans have to say:

Although McIlroy’s near-miss left him one stroke short of victory, his unwavering determination and resilience have instilled confidence in his abilities. With that being said, the golf world eagerly awaits the day when his name will once again reign supreme atop the leaderboard of a major championship.

As fans and pundits continued to dissect the intricacies of the US Open, Twitter erupted with celebrations for Wyndham Clark. His triumph serves as a reminder that the unpredictable nature of golf can bring forth unexpected heroes.
