Rory McIlroy Fails to Win Back Golf World’s Trust as Weeks-Old ‘Choke’ Gets Brought Back Up Hours Before the OpenAll eyes will be on Rory McIlroy when he tees off at Royal Troon later this week. The Ulsterman believes he is close to his elusive fifth major. McIlroy reaffirmed that he has moved on from the two brutal misses at the U.S. Open. But there are few takers for it. The Open Championship recently shared a clip of McIlroy’s brilliant bunker shot on the 10th at St. Andrews two years ago. Nuclr Golf retweeted the clip, asking its followers about McIlroy’s chances. “Rory McIlroy will finish in ____ place at The Open,” they captioned the post. The responses were not very pleasant for the 26-time PGA Tour winner.
