Wind Turned McIlroy's Final Holes
Description
Rory McIlroy charged into contention at the U.S. Open, sitting three-under through 16 holes and hitting what he called perfect irons—until the wind at Shinnecock Hills turned those shots into nightmares. With gusts hitting 23 mph, his final two holes became a battle against nature, sending balls flying off-line and into punishing lies. Though he closed with a solid one-under, he lamented lost opportunities, especially on the 17th and 18th, where wind-swept mishaps left him stranded. Still, he embraced the challenge, acknowledging golf’s cruel whims—wind can gift you an eagle one moment, steal your shot the next.
