Rory McIlroy was close to ending his Major drought last year at the US Open. Just a couple of holes away from victory, he seemed destined to clinch his fifth career Major, which he hasn’t won since 2014. But fate had other plans. McIlroy faltered with a lead in hand, making two unexpected bogeys on the final three holes, allowing Bryson DeChambeau to swoop in and steal the win. McIlroy quickly disappeared from the spotlight after the loss, avoiding the media and taking some much-needed time off. But little did he know, the toughest days of his journey were still ahead.
Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf team suffered their fourth consecutive loss in the Tomorrow Golf League (TGL) season, leaving them with no room for error moving forward. Their chance of qualifying for the semi-finals is now out of their hands. For this match, Boston lined up McIlroy alongside Keegan Bradley and Hideki Matsuyama to face the Atlanta Drive Golf Club, which had Justin Thomas, Billy Horschel, and Patrick Cantlay on their roster. The team from Boston started strong but couldn’t hold onto their momentum as the match went on.
In the triples match, Boston Common Golf took a 2-1 win after securing victories on the 4th and 5th holes. Atlanta Drive only won the 2nd hole, and the other seven holes ended in a draw. However, the singles matches shifted the momentum. Atlanta dominated, winning three holes, including two with powerful performances, ultimately securing a 6-3 victory. Well, looks like their misery continues against the match with New York Golf Club.

And the fans do not seem to be happy about it either. One of them even commented, “not cool”.
