Rory McIlroy's Last 3 Holes | Final Round Highlights | 2024 Amgen Irish Open

Rory McIlroy looked on course to claim his first professional win on home soil when he led by two shots with four holes to play at a venue just an hour from where he grew up.
However, while Højgaard completed a superb closing 65 with four birdies in the last five holes, McIlroy crucially bogeyed the 17th and then agonisingly missed an eagle putt on the 18th which would have forced a play-off.

The DP World Tour heads to Ireland this week as Royal County Down hosts the Irish Open for the first time in almost a decade. Four-time major winner and world no. 3 Rory McIlroy is in the field for his home event. He’s claimed two individual victories this year with wins at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour in January and the Wells Fargo Championship on the PGA TOUR in May. The Northern Irishman has won this event before after claiming victory at the K Club in 2016. Robert MacIntyre will also be in Ireland this week. The world no. 16 has risen 44 places from 60th at the start of the season. He’s claimed two victories this year with both being on the PGA TOUR - at the RBC Canadian Open and on home soil at the Genesis Scottish Open in July. Both those wins, coupled with three other top tens, helped him reach the season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake, finishing tied 16th. Shane Lowry will fancy his chances at his home tournament this week. He’s claimed seven top-10s this year including a victory at the Zurich Classic playing alongside Rory McIlroy. Others to look out for are Nicolai Højgaard, Erik Van Rooyen, Ryan Fox and Luke Donald.

Rory's caddie has to be certified in CPR. He chokes so often its a necessity.

[@adamstewart12]

@@robertcourt8593 I seen it live all 4 days in person, he played a great tournament controlled his rounds brilliantly, Højgaard looked great all week too and got away with some crazy good luck several times across all 4 rounds. Højgaard won this event, Rory didn't choke anything he made a bogey on 2 of the hardest holes on the course and until your stood on that 17th green you don't understand how severe that slope is and very difficult pin location, Højgaard got lucky and held out from the bunker and sometimes thats the difference between a win and not is the luck. This whole "Rory choked" narrative is wild and the only reason it exists is because he's so good he's in winning positions more than anyone else, people seem to forget this is golf they're playing, this game is hard 🤣 dont see anyone taking about Manassero choking but yet he was in prime spot to win all week? or Van Rooyen looking good all week but bottled the end of his 3rd round and his 4th? Rory played great golf, probably played the course better than anyone else, played it smart, and he got beat by a player who played more wayward and had a few great moments sprinkled in that saved him.

For someone who seems like he gives a lot of thought to his shots, sometimes he just doesn't play smart golf. There's no excuse for a player at his level to hit that putt from 25' on 17 nine feet past the hole. No other top 5 player would do that. I'll say I doubt a top 25 player would do that. A smart player knows you don't have to absolutely hole that there with 18 a likely birdie hole for him.

The media needs to back off this ridiculous narrative such as “ he really needs this one “ or “ he really wants this one” .
