🚨⛳️🤷‍♂️ #TRICKY PUTT — Rory McIlroy spoke about his missed putt on 18 at Pinehurst: "The putt on the last, it was a really tricky putt. And I was very aware of where Bryson was off the tee. I knew I had to hit it really soft. If the one back didn't matter, I would have hit it firmer. But because I was sort of in two minds, I didn't know whether Bryson was going to make a par or not, it was one of those ones where I had to make sure that if the putt didn't go in, that it wasn't going ten feet by which it very easily could have.

"I just left (the chip) on the wrong side of the hole. I got a above the hole. Where the hole was cut was on top of the little slope, and ended up pretty dry and crusty around the hole. And the chip shot just ran out a little bit and got past the hole. So it was I hit that putt very, very easy, and obviously just missed on the low side, and it still went a good three or four feet by.

"So I was probably playing it, I don't know, like two, two, and a half cups left, whatever it was, three and a half foot putt. There was a lot of swing to it, especially with how easy I was hitting it. Like I said, if it was match play and the next one didn't matter I would have approached the putt differently. But knowing that Bryson had hit it left off the tee, I just sort of wanted to make sure that if there was still a chance at a playoff, that it was at least going to be that." @TrackingRory
