(Reuters) - After throwing away a glorious chance to end a decade-long hunt for a fifth major, a devastated Rory McIlroy high-tailed it from Pinehurst Resort on Sunday without speaking to media and before Bryson DeChambeau was awarded the U.S. Open trophy.
Usually a gracious competitor in defeat, McIlroy could not stomach this latest setback nor escape Pinehurst fast enough as he loaded up his car, got behind the wheel and left the property.
