Next major title worth '100 Sundays like this' insists McIlroy after US Open disappointmentPhil Casey, PA Golf Correspondent, Los AngelesRory McIlroy insisted he would endure the pain of another 100 near-misses as long as he finally ends his major championship drought. McIlroy held a share of the lead when he two-putted the par-five opening hole of Sunday’s final round of the 123rd US Open, but that would prove his only birdie of a disappointing closing 70. Overall when you’re in contention going into the final round of a US Open, I played the way I wanted to play. Asked when the countdown to the Open would begin, McIlroy joked: “Three minutes ago, I guess. I’ll play Travelers next week, I’ll play the Scottish Open, but I’m focused on making sure that I’m ready to go for Liverpool.”
