McIlroy was asked what he would have said if he were informed before the competition that the winner only hit 4 of his final 21 fairways, as the hulking DeChambeau did.
McIlroy, 31, was on the fringe of contention going into Sunday before four-putting the first hole to earn a double bogey. The Northern Irishman completed six-over and in a tie for eighth location. McIlroy has four major wins, however none given that 2014..
No possibility,” McIlroy stated.” I thought I can see it for week in and week out, PGA Tour setups that are a little bit more benign … but I sort of stated, OK, wait until he gets to a correct golf course, hell have to rein it back in,” McIlroy said. McIlroy, 31, was on the fringe of contention going into Sunday before four-putting the very first hole to earn a double bogey.
DeChambeau has been the talk of the PGA Tour considering that it returned from their coronavirus pause after adding 40 pounds of muscle and countless yards to his drive. Now that he has a signature moment to choose the buzz, McIlroy is not quite sure what to make from it.
” No chance. No possibility,” McIlroy stated. “I dont truly know what to say because thats just the total opposite of what you think a United States Open champ does. Look, hes found a way to do it. Whether thats excellent or bad for the game, I do not know, however its just– its not the way I saw this golf course being played or this competition being played. Its sort of tough to actually cover my head around it.”
” I believed I can see it for week in and week out, PGA Tour setups that are a little bit more benign … however I sort of stated, OK, wait up until he gets to a correct golf course, hell need to rein it back in,” McIlroy stated. “This is as appropriate as they come, and look whats happened. Yeah, hes got full belief in what hes doing, and its pretty remarkable … So I believe … about the guy, I think its dazzling, however I think hes benefited from where the game is at the minute.
Rory McIlroy isnt quite sure what to make of Bryson DeChambeaus US Open conquest.
DeChambeau made his way around Winged Foot with a final round 67 to cruise to a six-shot victory and his very first significant championship. Once again and once again, DeChambeau muscled out of the thick rough to keep his round on track.
” Look, once again, whether thats bad or great, but its simply the way it is. With the method he approaches it, with the arm-lock putting, with whatever, its simply where the games at today.”
